Russian Vine

[Erichalfbee]

Does anybody know if this yields significant nectar ?

 

[The Poot in Somerset]

I had one at my house and the bees didn’t bother with it much, so I doubt it, though I don’t know for sure.
(Is this last chance saloon time?)

 

[Erichalfbee]

No. Asking for a friend.
Rain forecast here till end of month
The bees might cap a bit but eat a lot.
Resigned to it
Never known a year as bad

He’s got red nectar in his supers
Said it might be Knotweed
He can’t find any but says there is miles of the vine in flower.

I've got Russian vine growing on a fence on my allotment...it's been there for 20+ years...I have never seen any bees on it.

That might be the can't-get-a-mortgage-if-it-is-anywhere-near-the-house Japanese Knotweed. The American's call it Bamboo honey.
