Thank you! As I’m just poring over seed catalogs, planning my honeybee garden in our newly-purchased house that we are restoring in New England. I left behind a garden (2 miles away, different town) I had been cultivating for years (although lots of bee-friendly plants there too), before I had beehives, so am starting fresh with honeybees front and center at this house. One question: there are lots and lots and LOTS of old rhododendrons (about 60 years old) on the property; they are everywhere and several are HUGE. They are gorgeous! However, they take up a lot of precious plant real estate, and I am considering moving or removing several where I would like to plant something else. Unless my honeybees will profit from them? I haven’t had a chance to observe the honeybees in summer at this new (old) place. Unfortunately not enough room to plant trees.

A most excellent and informative article for anyone who has a garden. (And unusually for this site, free of grammatical and other errors in English usage.) May I suggest that the author publish the article on the Houzz website, in the garden section? Everyone who cares about the environment should have this information.

This was a most excellent article. May I suggest that the author post it on the garden section of the Houzz website? Very useful information for everyone who has a garden, not just beekeepers.
