for Willowherb

If you are a bee keeper you become very much aware of the flowering season of flowers valuable to bees.  Most people would regard willowherb as a weed.  Just at this time of year however it is a valuable source of nectar.

Very often flowers attract honey bees or bumble bees but never the two together.  Willowherb seems to be an exception.  It was being worked by both species today.

Some say that I have been seen spreading handfulls of seed around in the area of rough pieces of ground....
