I've seen many bees around our Ligustrums in the lawn. Who here is familiar with the honey from Ligustrum nectar?

There are different varieties and I'm not being partial because I am in the south but I have read that southern ligustrum is the only variety that makes desirable honey. My bees make a good bit of it.

Its light and mild not too different than clover.

I was really disappointed in my ligustrom bloom this year. Lack of rain. Browned up the day after blooming. Wasps didn't even get in it.
