In southern Mn the highly invasive plant wild parsnip is edging out sweet clover and other bee forage
plants along roadsides and border areas. I was shocked this week to see some areas devoid of other
plants I have seen before with wild parsnip taking over.
This nasty plant which leaves a sun activated rash on some folks is surprisingly agressive in its march
north and east in our state.
I see nectar in the flowers and see some bees visiting sometimes. Anybody else have experience with
this plant?
