Both. There are hundreds of acres of canola, clover and alfalfa blooming in
every direction and as far as the eye can see. The fragrance is strong,
too. I should tear open a hive or two and show the combs, but am leaving
the yard alone, since the queens should be mating now,
I have a few pictures and some discussion on the website mentioned, and I
don't know if you looked, but I have just now changed the URL again, since I
constantly update the site and URLs can change. I apologise and have moved
that article to fixed URL that should work going forward.
