Hi Allen & All

As with discussions on nectar producing plants, we tend to use common  
names which change depending on the location of the writer.  This  
list involves beekeepers from several continents.  Would not the use  
of scientific names clarify the discussion.  Northern White Cedar 
(Thuja occidentalis was Arbor Vitae) grows here and surrounds my  
apiary.  While it is a softwood, it dull sawblades quickly due to  
sand carried in the wood and bark.
