I heard they practically drip with nectar.
During my second project I planted 250 seedlings earlier this year. Unfortunately I lost over half to slugs, rabbits and deer.
When I checked the bees at the weekend I just started to see yellow on some of the hundred or so that is left (I planted them late), but the bees were still securely locked onto the wild mint that is flowering on the riverbank.
With the weather turning nice I would like to see them opening at any time.
Mine is only a small experiment, but if successful (and I would appreciate hearing your results!) I may plant a couple of acres or more next year.
I am currently working on my third play project. I am trying to gather enough (free!) lavender cuttings to fill an acre and a half with a beehive in the middle.
