I've had honey from field beans but others say they don't always yield. Actually I think my first ever honey was from field beans … the hives were slap bang next to a big field of the stuff and the rape had finished, so at least that's what I've always assumed it was.
Is OSR finishing this late usual up where you are. I've just checked my records and it was almost all gone here by the 6th of June (I'm not actually that sad that I keep records of when stuff goes over*, but I do have a dated photo of something else with a couple of yellow flowers in a sea of OSR seed pods). I guess yours is spring sown and mine autumn sown (the norm around here).
* with apologies to those who do
