I received the following from a friend.  Comments anyone?
 
"I'm thinking of getting involved with some efforts here in Indiana to get
more interesting stuff planted along our state highways.   I want to
recommend some bumblebee plants.

However, it occurs to me that perhaps attracting bees to the sides of
freeways will only get them hit by cars.

Do you know of any literature or just people's personal experience with
this?   I would imagine that beekeepers who have bees foraging near
highways would know whether there is a lot of mortality or not."

 

Aaron Morris - I think, therefore I bee!
