Reference books for identification of weeds, flowers, trees etc.
compiled by Elizabeth Dilley

As a Beekeeper I think you will find that a weed takes on a new meaning when you see a little golden girl walking around gathering nectar and pollen.

This a list of material we have used during our years of beekeeping. There will be some plants that have other names. There are plants that the bees may not visit. There are plant names that are questionable.

Perhaps the books will inspire some of you to climb fences to pick a weed.. Just look for the poison ivy, don’t wear red and watch for the farmer’s bull!
