the only real problem is :"This output was derived from Ayers and Harman, Chapter 11 (Bee Forage of North America and the Potential for Planting for Bees) of The Hive and the Honey Bee, 1992, Graham, J. ed. Dadant and Sons Inc. Hamilton, Illinois."....1992 is quite a long time ago...way different growing patterns now by agriculture for sure. we are talking 21 years ago at least.
