    This happens almost exclusively with honeybees which did not evolve with milkweed

    You should’ve left it. Just nature taking its course! Especially with invasive insects.

    interesting, the honeybees are having no problem with my butterfly milkweed (but I wish they were!)

    *Her, all of the honeybees you see at flowers are workers.

    Pollen, especially insect-transported pollen, is generally measured in micrometers.

    Asclepias pollen is measured in millimeters.

    See what happens Larry? See what happens when you plant a milkweed in a yard?

    I love that that flower has a face. It looks like a little kitten.
