I dislike JC as much as anyone but kudzu was here long before Carter.
To: stylin19a
sounds like kudzuI sent Dichondra Silver Falls seeds to a South American through a seed exchange. Then I had nightmares of it taking over the rain forest. Not sure if it's invasive there, but if it is, they'll know who to blame.
But some invasive species are nice. The Paulownia tree comes to mind.

African bees dont like the cold. Go figure. They dwindle out fast about Dallas/Albq line heading north.

Interesting that they list Kudzu. I remember seeing it when I was a kid living in the south but I’ve never seen it in this part of the country.

My only close dealings with bees recently has been on my raspberry bushes which were still blooming when the early berries were ready for picking. All the bees on the flowers were bumblebees. I didn’t see any boney bees on it last year (although their pollination time may not have matched my picking time).

In Westport, WA they’re as big as trees. And our lovely highway department plants them along freeways. Their seeds can be broadcast thirty feet. In the fall you can hear their seed pods popping like miniature firecrackers. l

Ever since General Mills jumped into the pro-homosexual lobbying game, I have worked to AVOID their products.This was first identified as Cheerios. Then it became apparent that it was General Mills, and I have slowly identified the pervert enabler products one at a time, and deleting them from our lives.
The latest... I've discovered that regular store brands of frozen waffles are indistinguishable from EGGO (GM).
Remember... back in the late 70s all the perverts whined for was a "little understanding?"; not total social domination.
Time to push back ya think?
Time to get serious about ridding ourselves of the human(?) kudzu?

I stand corrected. Carter just increased our national supply, he did not introduce us.

Unfortunately most of them are pretty useless for providing us with honey!But the real need is pollination.

I believe the largest factor affecting honey bee health is varoa mites, which come from Asia. It is like a small tick, does terrible things to my bees.

I thought I read that a major problem with the bees was crowding the frames in the hives too close together. Trying to raise honey production.
Remember the libs crazy idea a few yrs. ago of planting animal friendly food plants along the grassy areas on the interstate hwys.
Yeah, just what is needed, food chain fights along a stream of speeding cars.
What could go wrong? /s

Yes, but varroa mites require a host so lots of hives in close proximity spread the disease more readily than isolated hives.
To: bert
In the Petersen guide to wild flowers, such plants are listed as alien "Feed me, sucka!"

That is strange. I was thinking of similarities in misguided environmental do-gooders...never noticed the shapes were the same.
