Bob, Wild amaranth (pigweed) runs rampant around my gardens when (alas) I can't keep up with the weeding. Although I can't say positively that bees are not interested in it, I don't recall ever seeing them visit it in any numbers. The plant itself is very tall and thick stemmed, with wide, heart shaped fleshy leaves, and seed stalks in late summer that are large and prolific. The seed stalks are somewhat spiny. It is edible and nutritious, but kind of bland. I've read that one can make a very good flour from the seeds. It also makes a good green manure - at least that's what I keep telling myself in consolation at the end of summer :) Regards, Todd. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
