         I once knew a beekeeper (now gone) who planted 50 acres to white
sweet clover. Argentinian Rape was planted with it. Rape yielded the first
year, and the clover for several years thereafter. He claimed to get a good
crop of honey from his home yard due to this planting.

Note:
I believe it a bad plan to make hay from sweet clover. It can be pastured,
but the drying process creates compounds similar to cumarin, and the
animals can bleed to death internally. I think annual sweet clover would
act the same as the biennial variety.
