Looking for cover crop for bees

[tonyf]

Hi based near York. Looking for someone whos growing bee friendly cover crop (phacelia etc or even borage) in the near vicinity who wouldn't mind a few hives on the land during flowering.

Alternatively would consider renting a few acres to plant the same if possible.

Apologies if in the wrong forum & suggestions on how to locate suitable land greatly appreciated.

thanks
tony

We've planted some pollen and nectar mix. Its not growing well though. Plenty of beans about...

An acre of buckwheat is said to potentially yield 100 to 200 pounds of the very desirable buckwheat honey, still time to sow this quick crop.

thanks!...we've not got much land to plant currently so I think we might have to settle for other peoples beans this year and keep looking for next year. thanks
