There is a lot of tobacco plants around where I live. And I am noticing that the flowers are starting to bloom. Does tobacco produce nectar? If so is there any kind of a wierd taste to?
Maybe I have to ask for I.D. before somebody purchases tobacco honey. lol

Use of tabacco can produce a bad cough. LOL
The nicotine is a sedative and I'm not sure the bees will work it well. But if they do a spoonful of that honey would be a good night time sleep aid.
I just got done doing alittle research on a weed growing in my back fields and I think it is indian tobacco. The bee's have been hitting it hard for the past couple of weeks
I don't know if it produces nectar, but I do know that as soon as it starts to bloom, the farmer will cut the blooms off. They hamper the growth of the plant. Jim <><
