Very interesting .
Never thought much about tree nectar other than having it build up the colonies in the spring .
This is a totally different than beekeeping in Sask .
We get a bit of nectar fr caragana which is a legume but ive never tasted it .
One year our hives smelled like lilac . I guess i should have bottled some of that .
Thanks for the video

[@TennesseeMountainBees]

I always thought of clover and flowers for nectar sources and was amazed to learn how much the trees provide. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
