@DennieeeA Crimson Clover planting would be beautiful!

       

You see White clover honey all the time but you won't ever see Red clover honey on the market because Honey Bees "tongues are to short to get down to the necter in that big flower head.

More often it's the bumble bees that frequent red clover.

You're exactly right about bees loving it!  My dad has always kept beehives and you can surely tell the difference in the honey made by those who've primarily fed on white clover.  It's lighter in color and my favorite.  I was going to do a post about white clover and red clover lol.  Here's my pic of my white clover from the yard.😃
