ANNUALS AND BIENNIALS Notes: This group includes important crop plants grown ch (i.e. canola cvs. and mustard). Use of common names with literature has led to confusion between the spp. to which the Brassica napus L. ssp. napus 51 (syn. Brassica oleifera Moench; B. napus L. ssp. oleifera praecox Waldst. et Kit. ap. Schuh.; B. napus L. var. ole campestris L. var. pabularia DC.; Napus oleifera (Moe napus L. var. pabularia (DC.)

Value for pollen: P protein is high 17 ; P grains are ove honeybees collect N and none collect P on1y 2'; P may be di packed into P baskets 35; produces about 1/2 the amo oleifera (i.e. about 9.33 kg/ha/24h) 86 . Cvs. of this ssp. are self-fertile and it appears that ad not necessary 9,23,46,69 (in 59). However, 2 cvs. (Janetzke and free environment yielded few seeds 96 and 5 insects per flo good pollination of this ssp. 75 ; reports of increases in 95% 21,41,96 (in 59); se ed yield increases attributed to insects Regent were 77, 49, and 58% respectively (Mohr and Jay unp Honey: bright to pale yellow in colour; classed as white t very rapid (within a few days in the comb); fine homogen mild and indistinct when granulated; aroma of the flowers ca H's from new canola cvs. (i.e. those cvs. low in eruc anti-nutritional factors) are thought to be superior in flavour
18 Value for pollen: P protein is high 17 . Honey: light in colour with a yellow cast; classed as ligh mild, but strong when freshly extracted, like mustard; aroma content in ripe H may be high and fermentation reported like to that from Sinapis alba (white mustard), having a str grain 35 . Notes: more drought tolerant than rape; grown mostly especially s. Alta., and Sask.; principal source of table musta Brassica rapa L. ssp. oleifera (DC.) Metzg. 51 (syn.

Considered a better H source than Trifolium repens and some say that it is the best H plant known 54 . Foragin numbers up to 4 km from the nearest apiary 54 . Value for pollen: not considered as important for P, but ho necessary for efficient pollination 54 ; produces about 20 kg much as B. napus ssp. napus 86 . However, even if bees are not actively collecting pollinators because they almost always brush against anthers Honeybees found to increase seed yield 45 '58 '76 " 59) ; yield i for cvs. Candle and Tobin were 139% and 81% respective data noted in 59).
