Its also commendable to note that Iowa has the median strips of interstates planted with prairie flowers and clover that reduce the need for spraying or mowing and provide good forage for pollinators and songbirds. Here in Mn we have zero bee laws, no colony registration and the ditches are heavily mowed or sprayed. ******************************************************* * Search the BEE-L archives at: * * http://listserv.albany.edu:8080/cgi-bin/wa?S1=bee-l * *******************************************************
