Thank you Cindi I'm glad you are enjoying the beekeeping forum and the articles.
We have clover in several hay fields here and they get mowed after the bees have finished working the blossoms then they bloom again for another round of pollinating by the bees.
Thanks for the link Wren looks like something we are already doing here as most of our farm is left to grow wild which benefits all wildlilfe here.
Yes, water is an important element for beekeeping. They need it to drink and also to keep their hives cool when it's hot. We have ponds and a creek here htey can visit.
