Title: Best bee-plant book?
Post by: madscientist on June 10, 2008, 12:57:24 AM
Does anyone know of a good reference book dedicated to describing nectar plants/trees.  One specific for the south, or Texas in particular, would be most useful.  (e.g. Shinners & Mahler's Illustrated Flora of North Central Texas, but focused on bee-plants).

     Does any of your college/university websites have any information on nectar and pollen plants?  Otherwise you can try some searches in general online and see what you have in your area.  One of my books, The Hive and the Honey Bee, has information and listing of states, whether major or minor nectar/pollen sources and bloom time frames.  A place to start anyway.
