| | Buckwheat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Besides the seeds, from which buckwheat flour is produced, buckwheat is also a good honey plant, producing a dark, mellow varietal honey. | | | The name 'buckwheat' or "beech wheat" comes from its triangular seeds, which resemble the much larger seeds of the beech nut from the beech tree, and the fact that it is used like wheat. | | | Buckwheat is sometimes used as a green manure, as a plant for erosion control, or as wildlife cover and feed. |

| | Pollen is also collected by honey bees from buckwheat. | | | Buckwheat pollen is not windblown, therefore insects are necessary for the transfer of the pollen. | | | Davydova (1954) found that, as is customary for dimorphic flowers, the pollen grains on the two types of stamens are different in size, the flowers with longer stamens having larger grains (46 to 67 by 39 to 55 microns, versus 35 to 44 by 29 to 40 microns for grains on the shorter stamens). |

| | With the exception of tartary, buckwheat is sometimes used as a honey crop. | | | Buckwheat has a modest feeding capacity compared to most other grains, and if fertilizer is not applied, the removal of nutrients by a buckwheat crop may have a depressing effect on the yield of the following crop. | | | Although buckwheat is one of the most dependable and highest yielding honey plants, it normally yields nectar only during the morning and bees are unable to complete a full day of nectar collection. |
