Title: Thistle Honey - Any good?
Post by: Tucker1 on July 15, 2009, 11:09:34 am

Right we are over flowing with thistles. Next to my hives are several large, uncultivated fields of thistles, with numerous blue/purple flowers on each plant. Surprisingly, I haven't seen the bees working the thistles hard, but there isn't much blooming in the area right now. So I expect they will be forced to work them soon. Having said that....... what should I expect?

Regards,
