clover for bees
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 4:21 pm
I am going to sow clover for the bees, approx. 1.5 acres. What is the best kind recommended. If a mixture what is the percentages of each kind. Thanks for any help.
Sam:
I believe you need to stick with a white dutch or ladino.
Red is more difficult to work. They like crimson but it has a short bloom time.
Alsike Clover Trifolium hybridum
Crimson Clover Trifolium incarnatum
Ladino, White Clovers Trifolium repens
Sweet Clover Melilotus spp
