Hate to address a question with another question, but does anyone have any 
information on honey production (quantity and/or quality) from Autumn 
olive (Elaeagnus umbellata)? We had a very good bloom from abundant plants 
on Long Island, NY this Spring. I saw bees working the flowers, but not in 
the numbers I would have expected from such a prolific bloom. Black locust 
flow was on right after the Autumn olives, so I'm thinking supers should 
be a mix of both. Any thoughts?
