Bees and borage near Bourne, Lincolnshire Bees love borage (Borago officinalis), a herb with brilliant blue, star-like flowers and greyish-green leaves, and a local bee keeper moved ten of his portable hives containing flourishing colonies of several thousand bees to the field's edge at Wilsthorpe to take advantage of the sudden abundance of nectar created by this crop to help produce many jars of Lincolnshire borage honey.
