Hi folks,
I recently contacted Adam Willis, who I believe gave a talk at the BBKA Stoneleigh convention, about plants for forage. I asked him what plants are particularly good to plant in my apiary for a good nectar supply other than the usuals...anyway, he said it would be pointless planting them on my apiary as apparently bees don't forage within 100ft of the hive from April - September.
Is this true????![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
