Do whitetail deer like white and purple clover, and do honey bee's bother them?

Question

We have a 6 acre wooded farm with a 1 acer patch of clover for the bees to collect honey and I was woundering if it would be a good bowhunting spot. Do deer mind bees at all or dont they bother them? ( P.S. the farm is surounded by corn this year)

Answer 1

Deer love clover, some of my best deer hunting was in a clover field. I doubt if the bees will bother the deer much. I'm sure you will see many deer feeding in the field. I would hunt it in the evenings, sit the last 3 hours of hunting. If you try to hunt it in the morning, you will probably spook the deer feeding in the field as you try to reach your stand. Good luck and shoot straight.

Answer 2

Deer love to eat clover, as do most animals. If you want to know if deer are using the field, set up a trail camera along the edge. You say it is surrounded by corn. Look for trails leading to the clover through the corn. Set up a camera about 20 - 30 feet off from the trail. You can take a 2x4 and hammer it into the ground. Attach your camera to it. The deer will get used to it very quickly if they are there. Now you will see exactly how many deer and at whay time of the day the deer are using the clover. It sounds like a great place to hunt.

Answer 3

All honey comes from bees! It is bees that make the honey. Clover honey comes from clover pollen, amassed by means of bees, after which made into honey. If the hive was once mounted in a clover area, then it's known as Clover honey. All business honey is amassed by means of beekeepers. They don't "possess" the bees within the equal was once as a farmer might possess a cow. Bees are nearly wild; beekeepers simply have the expertise of find out how to handle them, and find out how to (competently) get the honey.

Answer 4

Deer like flowering plants. Ask anyone trying to grow flowers in a deer area.

Bees will sting anything that bothers them. Their pin prick sized brains can not differentiate between a bee keeper, a bear, or a deer.

Answer 5

Excellent spot to set up, a better set up would be near an apple tree or trees*.. The deer will not be affected by the bees*...I always try to find apple trees as is my preference first*....

Answer 6

Deer will feed the mornings and evenings when the bees aren't there.

Answer 7

deer will eat clover they will eat either color that you have. the bees will try to sting them, but the deer will not mind so much. you are lucky that your farm is surrounded by corn.
good luck

live in western PA, and damn proud of it <((((><

Answer 8

They are bothered by rogue apostrophes (in the question, bees not bee's) They are also bothered by people who wounder rather than wonder.

Answer 9

oh deer eat all the good stuff like corn...or whatever....hunt on a trail or where you see signs of activity...poop or scrapes,rubs,trails,etc.....1 shot-1 kill..or don't shoot at all....
