>This is simply not borne out by real world experience. In Canada there is overwhelming evidence that honey production reaches record highs when bees are placed in canola. 

That does not happen in the UK any longer - it used to be like that 10 years or so ago - we always ran out of supers.

I suspect that the problem is related to the amount of seed dressing allowed here compared with Canada/US which was highlighted a couple of weeks ago.  Apparently Europe allows much higher levels.
