Title: Bush Indentification
Post by: hankdog1 on April 27, 2011, 10:16:49 PM
I was wondering if you guys could tell me what this bush is the bees work the fire out of it.  It's just now starting to bloom here.

Hank,

The image post didnt work.  Pls try again.  

No wait its working, sorta...
It looks like honeysuckle to me.  Or some type of 'Lonicera'.  Are you positive that wasnt a vine?

The bees love that stuff.

 Hank,
This seemed to be a very useful site but I couldn't answer each question b/c I didn't have the plant in front of me to look at.  Maybe it'll help you to be able to identify it.

Virginia Tech Plant Identification (http://dendro.cnre.vt.edu/dendrology/idit.htm)

You may have already known about this site, I'm not sure,  if so disregard.

Hope it helps.

James
