> The plants I know I am allergic to are wind-pollinated, not > insect-pollinated. Goldenrod has sticky pollen; bees and wasps collect it. > I do not think many people come into contact with goldenrod pollen. > Tim > Tim Sterrett The allergy symptoms that I experience and attribute to goldenrod occur while working the bees (pulling honey). I also notice it while extracting and filling barrels with this late honey. Is it possible that this pollen could become airborn during these times even though its a sticky pollen? If I stay away from the bees and the honey house during these times, I don't experience the symptoms. Kevin Christensen
