Where I'm about to hive my bees, there are acres of dame's rocket flowering all around. Is this a bee-friendly wildflower? What strikes me as odd is that with all those flowers, purple, white and pink everywhere, I didn't see a single honeybee. Hopefully there'll be a few in a couple of days :mrgreen:

Doesn't seem like honey bees are a primary pollinator of this plant.

Thanks for the info. I've got that page bookmarked...there's a wealth of information there!
