Pollen/nectar directory

[jackstraw]

I've recently moved a colony into a beautiful woodland setting. They are surrounded by a variety of plants in bloom including foxgloves, nettles, elderflower, bramble and the last of the chestnut.

I have just been offered another site in amongst some beans which will shortly be coming into season and I have an option on a third site as well.

Does anyone know of an online directory which I can look at to find out which plants are best for my bees in terms of pollen and nectar flows.

There apparently used to be some sort of database
http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/life/plants-fungi/postcode-plants/index.html

There is now a Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland: distribution maps of plants
Includes current distribution maps of all flowering plant species at an improved 2km square resolution
