Thanks Vic. I was quite concerned and you helped. I had to kill a lawn
last September and had applied roundup. The lawn was covered in
Dandelions and with all my best efforts I couldn't avoid spraying a lot
of bees. The honeyflow hereabouts in June is R. procerus/discolor which
is the king of weeds<g> and unlikely to be effected much by the roundup
but I thought the bees might suffer.
