Where can I have honey tested to show what
types of nectar sources the bees used making
it? Duane.

Nowhere that I've heard of. There was an ad on here once for a system that would do a DNA analysis on the pollen on the theory that that's probably the nectar source. It was VERY expensive. http://www.beesource.com/ubb/smile.gif

I've wondered if you could train the scouts to seek specific flowers by marking the hive entrance with the same flower.

It might get them interested. http://www.beesource.com/ubb/smile.gif Let us know how it works.
