“The pedigree of honey does not concern the bee; a clover, anytime, to him, is aristocracy.” — Emily Dickinson
(I love the sentiment of the quote, but poets are certainly not apiologists, nor even apiarists. Bees collect nectar from clover, and other flowers. Passing the nectar from one bee to the next adds enzymes, and after some time, and a bit of dehydration, the nectar becomes honey. We try not to cut our lawn until every two weeks, or so, to allow the clover to blossom, for the bees. Bee well and do good, friends.) — YUR
