Greetings to one and all from Eastern  Jackson County MO.

Firstly thanks to everyone that has posted questions queerys or posers
during the last four or five months. It has surely been a very valid part
of my Beekeeping education.  Just to realise how many Apiarsists are "out
there"  and more than willing to their thoughts and observations has been a
wonder to behold. Ok enough of the praise for the group although it is
heartfelt thanks.

My question is this, I have just two hives currently doing their thing
(hopefully more next year).  Less than a hundred yards away there is a
 2 1/2  acre field that is full of what I know as thistles (similar to the
national flower of Scotland) the farmer that sharecrops the farm has
offered to "spray" them with herbicide,  will this spray harm my bees?  I
am really not to bothered by the thistles as I have four goats in the field
that will be more than happy to eat them once they are cut down, why they
wont eat them while they are standing is one for the scientists,
unfortunately I am not one, but hey each to their own.

Thanks

Steve (a newbee)
