Honey bee foraging is normally within a 2 mile range. They work the "honey flow", that is to say they collect nectar and pollen from what ever plant is in abundance and producing the most at any given time. As a colony they will work many different plants at the same time during especially during non peak flow. However, individual bees will not collect from different plants on the same flight. They will collect from different varieties of the same plant if close together and flowering at the same time. Also they do not mix the different nectars, but keep them in different cells and group the same nectar cells together within the hive. >Here's a dumb question: Does pollen from a chile flower carry capsaicin? >So...does honey produced after a day of foraging the habanero flowers >carry any heat? No capsaicin in pollen or nectar :-( Steve ======================================================= Uncle Steve's HOT Stuff, Home of world's hottest Chiles http://www.zyworld.com/snearman/Uncle-Steve-Home.htm =======================================================
