Gardening

We had 14 hives at one time, all in the same spot. Fruit trees typically don't flow for that long, so the bees are always going to need other sources of nutrition. In most areas in the US this predominately comes from clover. I wouldn't worry too much about planting anything for the bees. They are very good at finding and using whatever is available and assuming you're tending your hives regularly, you'll know how much they are finding based on how much honey is produced and how fast the hive is expanding. If the hive expands faster than you can expand their space, they will swarm which is a sure fire way to piss off your neighbors.
