Almost the whole nation has had some bad weather. Starting my 3rd year and I am in the country surrounded by late planted corn and soybeans. My neighbor plants a huge field of sunflowers-not coming up. I have a 1/4 acre of tall grass prairie and its about 3-4 weeks behind. I do not have a decent nectar flow. No trees to feed on and my staple of wildflowers and sunflowers is really late and dont know about sunflowers.
What I want to know is what kind of clover or another plant can I easily plant. I have between a 1/4 acre to 7 acres to plant. I have not seen my bees collect much nectar from white clover but its around. What should I plant. What kind of clover should I plant. Could it be planted in fall or winter. I need all the help I can get. No nectar flow which is unusual. Maybe its super low flow. Please give me some help. I have even planted pollinator plants but having a hard 2nd year with all rain and now will probably be dry. Who knows.I want to plant the best clover for this area and for bees. Have 4 hives and going to 6. Saskatraz queens
