hmmm as if dealing with 2 swarms from my own colonies and splitting numerous times wasn't enough, today I come home to find a swarm from someone else's apiary had decided to take up residence in my stack of empty supers and brood boxes, they had been knocked leaving a small entrance gap.

It's called dieta white Lupin and there is 20 acres of which is being grown to completion for the beans it produces.

the flowers also are totally different, doesn't even resemble the same plant doesn't form a spire of blossoms. The lupin I mean't is an agricultural food crop.

No they are not like the normal Lupin you see in gardens, they still produce pods but much larger more like a bean.

Hi Has anybody had any experience with White Lupin crop. The farmer at one of my apiaries Has a good few acres of this growing, from what I have read honey bees do like this stuff but thought I would throw this out there.
