Hello All,
If you mow Buckwheat you can get four bloom a year the bees will work.

I produce what I call Wildflower honey in the river bottoms in fall.  I
broadcast Buckwheat seed along the river banks about 8 weeks before the fall
flowers bloom. The honey is darker and the buckwheat adds a nice flavor.

I get my Buckwheat seed from the Amish. They buy their honey from me and
have got a booth at the National Small Farm Today trade show in Columbia ,
Missouri. Nov. 6 thru 8 which I have got a booth at  also.

Those wanting a way to contact the Amish email me your address and I will
get information on seed price and shipping.

Mike originally asked about the seed in Alabama. If a Bee-L person from
Alabama is attending the show then perhaps they could pick the seed up for
Mike. If you want the Amish to bring the Buchwheat seed to the show then
contact me as soon as possible as I will be contacting the Amish about their
honey order before long.

The Amish only use horse and buggy so a driver (with passenger van) brings
the Amish and pulls a trailer behind and space is limited.

I can't help believe there are not other sources for Buckwhaet seed but I
can help if you can not find another source closer Mike.

Bob
