Richard,
Two more quick thoughts:
--Our honey is much more profitable than daikon radishes, at least in direct market sales.  Esp. the small gift sizes of honey, headed into the holidays.
(The whole farm contributions of well-fed fall beehives vs. daikons as a fall cover crop, are other matters.)

--How much buckwheat acreage can the number of hives you have realistically use?  Hence tilling under some of the buckwheat may not result in much honey loss, if any.
