To my nose, it reeks like stinky socks. To most other people, too. |

Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
Is aristocracy.

My 2 year old grand-daughter make me take her out to the apiary twice a day to see them "fly and fly and fly"
Today she noticed the the goldenrod smell and exclaimed "HONEY I smell honey, the bees are making honey" over and over lol.

The golden rain trees are finally in bloom now and I'm sure our goldenrod flow is not far behind. Last legitimate flows of the year for us!

2 sox, maybe you are catching the smell when it is almost ripened? It doesn't smell like dirty socks once it is done. I love goldenrod honey.
