For those wondering about this. I talked with a few folks at several of the feed / seed stores. They do sell buckwheat but it is not planted much around here. From what I gathered if it was planted now and we do not get a late frost I could get two cycles out it before the heat kills it. Then in fall I can plant it again and get 2 more cycles. I am looking at planting 3 acres and was not sure if it would be worth it. But, if I planted one acre, wait one to two weeks and then plant the second, then the third. I could spread out the nectar and each acre is suppose to yeild 100 pounds of honey (if we keep getting rain). I know I am not able to provide for the girls completely but this land is nothing but old hay field and does not have much growing on it now.
