Soy Bean's

[nepenthes]

I live in the Rural Midwest (well kinda) Ohio. And Soybean is quite commonly grown when they rotate crop's. Do Bee's get nectar from soy bean's?

:lol:

Not sure how much nectar they get but they do get nectar.

In many areas bees are used in pollinating soy beans.  They get both pollen and nectar from it.

>Do Bee's get nectar from soy bean's?

Some years I get a huge crop of soy bean honey.  Some years I get none.  There are ALWAYS soy beans, but they don't always make honey from it.

There is some speculation that this is in the timing of the rain and some that it's the GMO soybeans.

Soybeans are a grown all over our county, probably in the thousands of acres most years. the general belief seems to be that the bees will forage it some of the time - weather appears to be a factor - yet they will generally prefer other sources when available which is most of the time. Never tasted honey attributed primarily to soybeans.
