[QUOTE="James, post: 3325, member: 212"] The willows are an important part of our calender ...... willow flow about September 20 ..... free nectar and pollen that boosts bee build up. They were planted as a means to slow down river bank erosion when we got more intensive in agriculture. In this era of climate change when we are getting sudden rain events that dump 50ml of rain in the hill country in 40 minutes , the willows will play an importnat part in slowing that Tsunami of runoff. And in an era of wanting to Save the Bees, the willows play an important part in colony buildup so that they can go out and save the planet. As I have said many times before,the guys who make the rules in their concrete offices need to get out more. It's a great idea to return NZ to it's pre colonial past ..... but the reality is that we have progressed and need to live our lifestyles with that in mind. [/QUOTE]
