Thought l had found a lavender field but unfortunately it was not, but it was an interesting group of fields all the same. What l have found out is this crop is used as an in-between crop putting goodness back into the soil, this crop is also a very good attractor for honey bees, this makes sense because when l jumped over the gate to the field l got the shock of my life, there must have been a dozen beehives, after making a hasty retreat without been stung l went to a field further down the road, this time no beehives but l have never seen so many bees before, as l have read this crop attracts honey bees
