Honey
03-31-2009, 10:02 PM
in the mountains of Central Colorado. Elevation of 7200 ft. Wondering about a lot of things i.e. what might the principal nectar sources be and what flavors the honey would carry. Lots of sagebrush, juniper, pinion pine, sarvousberry (sp), chokeberry, pines and spruce, spring wildflowers and dandelions etc..
Thanks for any feedback.

Welcome Western Coloradan,
I grew up in Glenwood when it was small and G Jct. Small world. There used to be alot of wildflowers, and alfalfa fields full of clover up there. We have a guy up in Snowmass that will give you the best info of your area. Alpha 6 is his logon name.
