I don't see myself becoming a serious gardener but I find myself more and more curious about what the bees are bringing back into their hives. If you would like a laugh, it wasn't until last year that I realized that trees made pollen and nectar- gosh. Yeah, I knew flowers made pollen and nectar but when beekeepers I met talked about how I had some basswood in my honey or the early pollen I was getting in spring was maple...I looked at them funny and did not admit any ignorance at all.
So...Is there a resource for dummies on this? I think that understanding and predicting plant growth might help me understand what my colonies are doing at a given time.
