An Observation Only, no postulate here.
In June / July I witnessed the Honey Bees AVOIDING the red clover, and
attacking the Crimson Clover.
At the exact same time, I saw the Bumble Bees AVOIDING the Crimson Clover
and attacking the Red Clover.
So, each bee had a solid preference for one type of clover versus the
other.
I thought this was cool. Yes, I have seen Honey Bees on the Red Clover at
times, but not when Crimson is present.
Go figure.
