Stan asked about bees working soybeans.

From my experience it depends on the variety.  When I had the bees there was a lot of soybean within easy flying distance.  I never recorded a flow off these.

However one year there was this flow and I reckoned it was soybean as there was nothing else around.  I asked the farmer if he had changed his variety of soybean and he said yes.  For the next couple of year I noticed a small flow off the soybeans then they stopped growing soybeans. 

I cannot remember what the varieties were.
