Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 In response to your queries ; Honeybees collect soy pollen and nectar only when soy is grown in rich fertile (river) bottom land. I grow envy (OP) soy beans along the Cumberland/Ohio Rivers. Maybe your soy isn't natural, but mine sure is. Buckwheat produces first bloom within 6 weeks (normally) of seeding. Yes honeybees 'eat' buckwheat normally. Study buckwheat blooms and their dark nectar and pollen. Buckwheat honey is dark and rich - much the color of cotton honey. I think that dark honey is more nutrient packed due to late harvesting of herbs that also bloom late. Perhaps that'd be something else to study. Powdered sugar is spread over the bees for mite protection not to feed the honeybees. Unless of course you'd rather kill the mites with poisons and chemicals. Without help from you many wild honeybee colonies would survive, but many more would not. If you want your bees to starve, don't feed them anything. If you want your hives to die out, don't treat or take care of them just leave them alone so they can fend for themselves naturally. Or use what nature provides and save most of your honeybee colonies. It's your choice after all. >> > Hi, What ever happened to natural???
