>>>  I won’t argue in favor of introducing “exotic, highly invasive floral species” although I do cheer on the honey plants. Nor will I try to address the question of whether willfully introducing them is good or evil.


<><><>  It seems to me that there  currently are plenty of nectar and pollen producing plants available that either are native or non-invasive that could be propagated by the beekeeper without having to resort to introducing new species that might fall within the category of being invasive.  We as beekeepers need to look beyond what would bee a positive action for us personally to what the long range effects on our environment as a whole would bee.
