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? http://www.wnrmag.com/stories/1999/jun99/parsnip.htm ****************************************************** * Full guidelines for BEE-L posting are at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/guidelines.htm * ******************************************************
