    Near rivers it has to contend with Himalayan Balsam, and the bees love that stuff too.

      Yeah I quite like the ol’ Himalayan balsam to be honest - very popular with the bumble bees. Gets a bad rap in the uk because it’s supposedly ‘invasive’, but I take rather a dim view of that kind of talk to be sure.

        They do destroy biodiversity but at least they are pretty and won’t fuck you up like Giant Hogweed.
