Canola

Honeybees forage intensively on canola for its high yields of nectar and nutrient-dense pollen, supporting colony buildup and producing a light, mild honey. The bloom period spans 4-6 weeks in late spring, with optimal visitation on sunny days when temperatures exceed 15°C. As an annual crop grown for oilseeds, it demands annual sowing and benefits from well-drained, fertile soils in temperate regions.
