>Bees do work ragweed early in the morning.
I have pictures of them working giant ragweed for pollen.


I'm glad I posted this - and thanks for the correction. Now I can lay to
rest another myth.

I've heard so many times that honey bees do not work tomatoes - and I've
seen them work tomatoes many times. Last summer I finally got photos.
Some try to maintain that honey bees work sweet corn, but not field corn. I
have photos of this also.
