Wow! five responses within 24 hours (and over 100 hits!) on the demo page is pretty
impressive! I just hope the funding agencies are half as enthused with this project.
In answering some of the questions raised:

1). no, you do not need to log in to use the database.
2). pollen and honey info are both provided -- you have to click the image to see the
full description.
3). right now there is only 10 plants (hence a demo). We will try to finish about 100
Michigan plants within 2 years.
4). if we get more funding, national database is possible (might be >500 plants), but
we do need to have the labor to put them into the computer (not to mention slide
scanning takes so much time).

Prof. Ayers says his bee forage plant book will be out in 2011, but this web will give
you a taste of what will be in there.
