Hello Stan & All,

flowering weeds under them, it might not be a problem. The quote is
interesting because it shows that the chemical is persistent for years.
The Elms are very popular to the bees for pollen(American Honey Plants pg.
141)
Sorry Stan but bees gather pollen from Elm and also nectar from Ulmus
Parvifolia and Ulmus alata (American Bee Journal Jan. 1947) Possibly they
gather some nectar from other elm but these two above have been noted for
producing a surplus.
