Could anyone comment on the potential value of crown vetch as a
honey-producing plant source?
 
I was recently asked this by a beekeeper who will be doing some plantings.
Yellow and white sweetclover will be included.  However he was wondering
also about the crown vetch since it is so easily established and flowers
rapidly.   Essentially he wants to know if it would be of value in the short
term (i.e., this year) to incorporate some crown vetch in the planting scheme.
 
Thanks for your thoughts/experiences.
