Hybrid white clover - no honey?

[Stromnessbees]

Last summer the (hybrid) white clover on our farm had an amazing show of flowers. Some of the fields looked as if they were covered in snow. The bees however ignored it and the only white clover they visited was the small 'wild' type on a rough bit of ground.

On our farm we will go back to planting the wild variety again, as the hybrids also seem to be too rich for the cattle and sheep at times.

I wonder if anybody else has made similar observations.
