>>> I'm intrigued by the jewelweed, it sounds like a good source of
nectar, and our girls are surrounded by it!

Are you near swampland or river/streams? Jewel is a high water content
plant and they require the resources to keep from drying out. I didn't
know they were a honey plant though, I never kept bees near them in any
large number.
