  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.

        And you can eat it (as long as you don’t eat too much in case you fuck your kidneys)
