Title: Wondering about flowers
Post by: BlueEggFarmer on June 28, 2008, 09:27:52 AM
Are there any flowers out there that have so much juice that when a bee visits she gets filled up on the very first visit and says oops I'm full and have  to go back to the hive now?

Linden trees, sometimes called honeylocust.

  So far, my bees only say to me,"Its gonna rain" or "Its hot out and it wont rain tonite".
I think I'm telepathic with my bees :)
Ive heard of honey locust down here. I may have to do a little more research.
