Importance of Honey Plants 
Honey plants are the first essential to bee-keeping. 
For bees to store surplus honey there must be an abun- 
dance of nectar from one or more sources at one or sey- 
eral periods during the season. In order for bees to 
prosper, there must also be the so-called minor sources 
early and late and between the major flows, to keep the 
bees in shape and to build them up to make the most of 
the major honey flows. 
Since honeybees, for their pollination services, are 
becoming recognized as very essential to our agricul- 
ture and national well-being, likewise honey plants 
which will furnish either minor or major sources must 
be looked upon as of major importance in the scheme 
of things. It is a law of nature that the greater 
the succession of nectar plants present throughout the 
season, the more bees there will be to perform the es- 
sential service of pollination of the fruits and flowers, 
gardens and fields of your neighborhood.
