HB 1654: Pollen-rich plants for bees

Controlling noxious weeds while still supporting pollen-rich forage plant communities for honey bees.

Summary

  • Pilot Project . The Weed Board must conduct a pilot project that evaluates the advantages of replacing pollen-rich noxious weeds with native forage plants that can produce similar levels of pollen and nectar to support honeybee populations. The Weed Board must seek to maximize the dual public benefits of reducing noxious weeds and maintaining access to pollen forage for honey bees and apiarists.
