Excellent wildflower haiku series Wildflower Haiku : (clover offers bees) haiku by adewpearl

clover offers bees nectar steeped in summer's sweet honey on the stem Recognized Author Notes Sorry about the picture for flower purists - I know the flower in the picture is a thistle. I could find this great picture with the bee or a lovely picture of a clover with a butterfly but not the perfect picture of a clover with a bee. Clover is a major source of nectar for honey bees. Clover honey is popular for its mild flavor, but customers are warned that it is not a consistent flavor as those darned bees stray to other flowers, rarely collecting only from clover. So taste varies depending on the proportion of nectar that comes from clover. Evidently, the paler the honey, the more likely it is close to pure clover honey. And honey made from summer clover is considered better quality than earlier spring honey.
