Beekeepers are keenly aware of the plants that their bees visit. Since so many beekeepers are identifying important bee plants, I listed a number of them in my posting for today, November 6, 2010. Many fall into a group of families that are prolific producers of nectar and pollen: the roses, mustards, legumes, snapdragons, composites, mints, and magnolias.<br /><br />I also mentioned a couple of books that may be useful. I like to visit the book shelves of the visitor centers of state and national parks. They often offer books on wildflowers of the area. Identifying the nectar and pollen sources in your area is most interesting and worthwhile.<br />--RichardRichard Underhillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014016516339819639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712110501673732079.post-56111949007403534652010-11-05T23:47:13.742-05:002010-11-05T23:47:13.742-05:00Hello,

Might you have a list, or know of a source, that states what flowers are good for nectar & what flowers are good for pollen? I'm trying to compile a local list for my area.<br /><br />ThanksHemlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516696085870150452noreply@blogger.com
