Their value Is almost negligible, except that some of them yield a little pollen. It Is to the modest white clover In the orchard or on the roadside or the weeds of pasture or woodlot or the blossoms of trees like the basswood that the bees go for the bulk of their honey. It does not pay to cultivate any plant for its value as a honey producer. The orchard Is a splendid place for the apiary, where the bees can build up on the first nectar in the spring, and the blossoms have the benefit of the bees' visits. —John W.
