Every beekeeper I talk to seems to think that a different plant is the
be all and end all when it comes to pollen and nectar production.
I finally tracked down some hard data --- Some Ohio
Nectar and Pollen Producing Plants from the Ohio Extension Service
--- which laid all the guesswork to rest.
Based on their table of major nectar and pollen producers, I've
discovered that May and June will be the major honey production months
on our farm. It sounds like we're going to get a summer lull if
we don't come up with some more extensive White Sweet Clover patches.
Or discover some other summer-producers....
