    Thanks both- obviously not poisonous but is it OK to handle ?

    No worse to handle than any of its cabbage relatives. image

    Farmers around here make their fields of oilseed rape available for beekeepers to move their hives onto to ensure good pollination - the beekeepers I'm aware of are happy to do this.  The oilseed rape pollen makes a honey that crystallises more readily, but that's not necessarily a problem.
