Thank you all for the inputs on red clover. As one can see, there are
many appenions on the subject. I have also heard that the honey bees can
not reach the nector on the first bloom of red clover but can on the
second. Does red clover produce a different sized flower later in the year?
I am using more white clover in my pastures now also because it will last
longer and is not any more expensive to establish, just a little more
difficult. Have to make sure to remove top of established grass before
June first. I also will be using more lespedeza to have nector later in
the summer and early fall. Thanks again. Bob
