I also have a question if anyone might be a little more knowledgeable on the botany side of things. At our Florida location (Come visit if you're local! We're in central FL) we've established about 20 hives and everything is shaping up nicely. However, we're now looking ahead to building to a honey harvest and wanted to maybe try getting a little flora growing in the neighborhood to play around with something unique. Anyone have any ideas of something that would take in this kind of climate (FL, so lots of direct strong sunlight and frequent rain) that isn't pepper/orange oriented? I moved here from PA and my knowledge of this aspect is virtually nil.


UF has a full on bee lab attached to their agri department, here are a couple of articles that might be handy. I wouldn't think they're exhaustive, though.

This one goes a bit more into depth about laying out a garden and might have some plants listed in the diagrams.

Might at least be handy to get an idea of some of the things that work in Florida.
