Bill Bee:
Since you are in Atlanta, Ga, south of me, that would mean that my theory 
about the cold doesn't hold.  I have read and heard that poplar trees "drip 
nectar."  That will be what I do next year is to pull some flowers and see 
what is in them.  It still seems strange that for many years we got tulip 
poplar honey and now the bees don't touch it.
