The yield of nectar from sweet clover is heavy, and a number of beekeepers now market this honey in carload lots. Sweet clover is utilized for honey especially in Kentucky, in Iowa, and in Colorado and adjacent States. In Alabama and Mississippi a number of beekeepers are harvesting large crops chiefly from this source. The color and flavor make this plant suitable for either comb or extracted honey. Yellow sweet clover is perhaps as valuable for nectar as white sweet clover, but beekeepers have paid less attention to it. This is probably due to the fact that the blooming period of the yellow species often coincides with that of white and alsike clover, making it less valuable to the beekeeper. In sections where the quantity of white and alsike clover is limited and it is desired to plant sweet clover for bee pasturage, a mixture of the white and yellow species is recommended, as the yellow species will bloom from 10 to 14 days earlier than the white. Wherever any of the species of sweet clover are cultivated, either for forage or for seed, beekeeping is to be recommended as a valuable source of additional income, and such locations are especially suitable for extensive commercial beekeeping. * * * * * Transcriber Note Minor typos may have been corrected.
