Crescent alfalfa   (Yellow alfalfa) good honey plant. The greatest amount of sugar in the nectar of crescent alfalfa is released at 1 pm and 4 pm at an air temperature of 26 - 30 ° C and a relative humidity of 51 - 59%. The composition of the nectar changes significantly during the day, for example, the glucose content decreases sharply by 2 pm and 5 pm, so bees are not so willing or not at all willing to pollinate the flowers of crescent alfalfa at this time. It was noted that the sugar content in the nectar rises after the first cut (June) of alfalfa; after the second cut (July), bees are especially active in collecting nectar from sickle alfalfa and pollinating it.

Honey bees, pollinating alfalfa crops, open every 42nd flower, and wild - — every second. Honey bees mainly collect nectar and about 15% of pollen, while wild bees — mainly pollen and open the flower after the first visit, while the melliferous ones after 2 — 5 visits — depending on the variety.

Honey productivity of yellow alfalfa (crescent alfalfa) —   25-300 kg / ha in the central regions.

Alfalfa honey has various shades — from colorless to amber, during crystallization it becomes white and thick creamy consistency. Has a pleasant aroma reminiscent of the smell of mint and a specific aftertaste. At relatively high temperatures, it hardly crystallizes.
