[Pollinator] Fwd: The Weed's News - Digest

[Peter Bernhardt]

Some of you will find the link (below) to "The Weed's News" very useful.
There are two articles describing how useful roadside weeds can be.  This
should relate well to your own projects detailing the preservation of
roadside vegetation to increase diversity of native bees in urban/suburban
sites and as nectar resources for honeybees and migrating monarchs.

"The Weed's News" is a free, international online News Digest produced by
Dr David Low at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia).  I don't know if
you can buy a Fiskars weed puller here in America or Canada.  Australians
and Canadians don't always get on well at Commonwealth sporting events/
