For your kids game ... "Crap"

In fact, according to Elbert R. Jaycox in "Beekeeping in the Midwest" 
(p.70-71 of *Circular 1125* published by the University of Illinois 
Extension, 1976, with revisions by E.E. Killion, 1985) milkweed is 
considered a secondary nectar and pollen source for honey bees here in 
the midwest.
