Raymond, you can get poor nectar flow from any plant depending on how the weather is, there are alot of different things you can plant, last year I planted crimson clover and after about a 5 weeks it had die off, I also had ladino clover and some sweet yellow clover planted, the ladino clover and white dutch will bloom from spring until fall if you cut the tops out of it once every 4-6 weeks, my bee's made alot of really mild' light colored honey off the crimsom clover and a very good taste so I planted it this past fall and when it dies this year im going to plant buckwheat... the harrowing, bush-hogging and planting is part of beekeeping to me, I enjoy it...
