OSR Nantwich

[sandysman]

On the way back from friends in Cheshire yesterday I drove past Nantwich and in a village just outside Nantwich there was a field of OSR in full flower. You lucky beeks in that area will no doubt be saving a few pounds on syrup this year.

Yes i've seen that field to, but we are about 8 miles or so away from it.

More likely Mustard as a plough in crop for soil improvement at this time of year. Still good for the bees though.

But OSR isn't much good for overwintering, is it?

Yes I've seen this field at the week end. I think it's mustard but it's quite tall at 2 - 3ft. OSR has only just been planted

Yes, it is mustard.
