That's surprising, RB. Just about 4 hours from you, over near Appleton, there are miles of alfalfa. So much that they pay pollination fees for thousands of hives each year.

what is grown near me iddee is cut before the bloom.  we have considered planting alfalfa for the bees, maybe next year, this year we planted buckwheat.
i also trade the beekeeper i buy the alfalfa honey from, i think he looks forward to seeing me every year.
