Hello all.

I'm soliciting opinions on what would be the best flower to plant for my
bees. I've got an acre tilled up and could use some suggestions. The land is
full sun. Soil is sandy loam. We live in SW lower Michigan.

It would be great if the flower was also appealing for horses / cattle.

A quick search of the last 6 months of postings leaves me with Dutch Clover,
Sweet White Clover, Yellow Clover, and Rape.

Are these plant names that a seed dealer will recognize? (My seed dealer is
female. Does Rape go by any other name? I don't want to sound like a fool.)

I appreciate any input.

Sincerely,
------------
