Is anyone aware of efforts to place hives in an area where large quantities of lavender are grown?
(Lavender is grown commercially for its oil.)

Is lavender honey anything special?

I know they go nuts for it in France and much of Europe.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

There is a small farm in southern michigan that sells pick your own lavender.  I have a friend that goes there. They grow a few acres and customers get a ribbon and cut a ribboned bundle for a price.  They also have bee's and sell lavender honey in there store.  I have never been there but i understand its a real hit
