ASTER -another plant to keep bees alive...please grow

in #nature • 9 years ago

AN IMPORTANT LATE FALL FOOD SOURCE for bees,
asters can help new bumble bee queens build up their
energy reserves prior to winter dormancy. In some regions they are
a late-season honey plant (although the table quality of the product
is not well regarded). Various species are well adapted to upland
or wetland conditions and to open sunny meadows or forest edges.
The reported sugar concentration in the nectar of some aster species
ranges from 24 to 41%.
