Phacelia

Some say this flower with its fern-like leaves is just a weed. An old packet of seeds scattered late on a patch of earth has created a haven for the bees in my garden as the autumn equinox arrives. It is listed as one of the top 20 honey-producing flowers because of its habit of flowering abundantly and for a long period. Pure raw phacelia honey doesn’t contain any unhealthy artificial sweeteners like sugar syrup used by many beekeepers to make honey cheaper to produce. Good for our health and yummy for the bees! A tablespoonful of honey in your diet every day provides so many benefits,  listed as
