The beekeepers of the state have got law on their side when they ...anyway I have dealt with this elsewhere. This is a weed, a noxious weed that councils are not allowed to clear because beekeepers need the flowers for pollen. Forget about any environmental concerns, and this stuff is poisonous to the country and to some stock, the bees have it. The weed moves up the roadways, carried on vehicles, then inland to occupy large areas like this paddock.
