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?
