Not  either of them  but it would be because of a couple of factors,   one  
bees can and do feed almost exclusively on them during bloom,   meaning 
they get more exposre than any other  plant. 


This mail was about canola (oilseed rape).  I attended a lecture a  couple 
of years ago delivered by Norman Carreck of Sussex University (UK)  .  He 
showed an aerial photo of the area in which the monitored hives  were placed: 
it was very VERY yellow with OSR/Canola and yet the  bees were bringing in 
pollen from 14 different species of plant.
