SOME CARROT FAMILY BEE PLANTS

摘要

The Umbelliferae family is a treasure trove of pollinator plants. This group is named for the flower heads, which are typically umbrella-shaped. It contains carrot, parsley, and some commonly cultivated vegetables and herbs.A number of these perennial or biennial species grown as annuals are good nectar and pollen sources. Parsnip, a biennial, can provide a small honey crop of 10 to 50 pounds per colony. Celery is another good honey plant.
