I don't know where "here" is. In central New York, where I live, you can "frost seed" clover of many varieties. Yes, it sounds nuts. I have watched my father do it with snow still on the ground and results could not have been better.
All this being said, medium red clover is one of the very best nectar producers you can grow. However, honeybees do not like clover, especially medium red clover. As the bees harvest the pollen and nectar the pistil (or stamen, I cannot remember which) gets "tripped" by the honeybee's activity. As this occurs the honeybee gets knocked right off the med red clover blossom. Second cutting med red is more delicate than first and thus less objectionable to the bees. "Dutch" clover, or white I think is also alsike clover is a much smaller and better forage for the bees. HTH. best Yeoman
