Sheep Forage

[philipm]

I have a field near my hives with sheep fodder (looks like kale) that is in flower. Anyone know whether the honey has the same properties as rape seed?The sheep have grazed half the field so still loads left.

Honey from most (f not all) crucifers has highish glucose content relative to fructose so granulates very fast/hard so I think Kale honey will be no different

Yes it’s just like osr, your lucky they let it flower. I often have a field near some of mine and they graze it every time before it flowers I wouldn’t worry as it’ll soon be gone the same as any nectar in this coming cold spell.
