Here in Minnestoa I've noticed Buckwheat does not produce honey reliably on heavy black soil. The same variety of seed in a sandy loam though with good weather usually produces an August and early Sept crop. Migratory and other beekeepers produce a fair amount in this state as we have an active Buckwheat Growers Association in NW Mn and the southern region has a lot fof organic growers who plant it as a green manure. The honey sells at a premium here. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
