I read that bees are VERY attracted to it; which in turn can give a harvester honey from the tree.

The every part edible really got me. When I was reading the book before the author had mentioned the characters used the flowers for this... and the seeds to make that.. the sap, etc. It really piqued my interest.. then I forgot about it for some reason. Then the other day.. a light bulb went off in my head and I just had to read more about it.
