I am still researching vines to grow for honeybees.  Kudzu, porcelain berry, silver lace vines are all said to be invasive.  Does anyone have any experience with Hyacinth Bean (aka Indian Bean or Egyptian Bean)Lablab purpureus.  It's quite ornamental (and edible) but is it a nectar/pollen source for honeybees?
