No, I know what Queen Ann's Lace is, this is more of a shrub.  Left alone it gets very tall, this one was about 8 or 9 ft..  I'll go take a few more pics.  Thanks Some Day!  Ted

Here's a couple more pics.  The stem is woody with a soft "pithy" center.

I was wondering if it wasn't a berry shrub.  Thanks Jen!  No wine but wondered if bees might like it as it grows wild.  Ted

Yes its an elderberry.  I've seen my bees work it a little this year.  I hadn't seen them work it before I've caught them on it in the mornings more that afternoon for some reason.

Attractiveness importance to bees as a resource for them in the forum of pollen and nectar 1 star is least and 5 being a very good source for the bees.
