I had some darkest honey from bees eating Foxglove nectar and pollen. Was during a dry year so honey result was concentrated. Was the best!

My neighbor has about a half dozen hives, but he doesn’t grow very many flowers or fruits. That’s where we come in. Lot’s of clover in our lawn, lot’s of wildflowers on the edges of the lawn and woods, and my wife grows more flowers than she can keep up with sometimes, I do the veggies and fruits. So my neighbor’s (Bogey) bees visit our yard and have a smorgasbord every day, he gives me honey, I give him fruits and veggies that the bees have pollinated. It’s a win, win.
