Terminal leaflet is stalked and often notched at the tip. Usually prostrate on ground. Introduced from Europe. There are 238 varieties of clover in temperate and subtropical climates. Clover pollen is often gathered by bees to make honey.
Honey is fed to bee larvae and the queen, and is stored to sustain the hive during winter.
When humans harvest honey, they are harvesting the hive's winter supply. Thus, professional bee keepers replace the honey they harvest with sugar water. For more information about bees and clover and honey, see Bugs in the System , by May Berenbaum.
