I planted some buckwheat about a week ago. hopefully it will provide some extra nectar come fall.

this article has a whole section about it as a honey crop. they say 1 acre can get the bees to provide 150 pounds of honey.

Would you be growing the honey for sale or bee consumption?
I often have customers ask for buckwheat honey but those customers are few.
best of luck.
