In our country Kropacova (prof. Kubisova,today, Agric. Univ., Brno,)
did some research with this plant species and found it to be only
moderately important honey source for honey bees because of the wery low
nectar concentration. I observed mostly Bombus lapidarius workers on it.
(For details, quotation or so, write directly on my e-mail address.)
Would it be possible to know the honey yield you obtained from your bees?
