Q8 Name one factors affecting the secretion of ling heather honey.
Yes it does say factors and I am assuming because it states Honey it is talking about the Honey in the sealed comb onwards. Any thoughts woould be helpfull.

What a poorly worded question! Does anyone proof read the questions?
Ling heather does not secrete honey but nectar which the bees convert into honey. Any one of: soil type, age of heather, rainfall would do. Temperature is probably not a right answer since ling is said to secrete nectar at temperatures too low for bees to fly. Source:Plants and Beekeeping by FN Howes.
Good luck with your exam Susan and welcome to the forum.

Susan, welcome to the forum from me too. Occasionally we see questions that can be interpreted in two ways. Not one as clearly wrong as this one. (But ptobably not as bad as some of my typos on the forum!) It's a 1 point answer so as Jim states, any one answer should be enough.
I have a question myself. How does a white clover floret indicate that it's been pollinated?
