I was wondering what would be your top 3-4 plants for producing nectar in the south?
I would also like to know what privet honey tastes like. A friend of mine who just moved into a new house this past year told me that the bushes (which she has been told is some unknown specie of privit) at her new house were loaded with bees this Summer and they are still blooming. She was going to try to start some shoots for me to plant so that I could have try to plant it and have it for me bees to forage on next year, so I am curious as to what the honey might tastes like. (....Not that I have gotten to harvest any yet anyways... 4 years and still waiting.)"We get a strong surplus flow when the privets bloom in June-July."
What does Privet honey taste like? There is a lot of the plant near me and the flowers stink - what about the honey?
