>>On the worst varieties we have had a yard of 48 in the middle of 640 A (260
Ha) only to watch them forage pollen there, but fly two miles down the road
to another field for nectar.
Polish sources recommend 2-4 hives per 1 ha for good pollination. The plant's flow lasts 3 weeks in May. With good weather 1 ha can yield 150-200 kg of honey. Canola/rape is the first major honey plant to bloom there. The honey crop often fails due to cool weather.
