Question
I have a plant names Scaevola this has beautiful little purple flowers and blooms all summer in a hanging basket. I have noticed that the big black bumble bees seem drugged after they feed from this plant. They don't move for hours and sometime they just die on the bloom. They are so drugged that they can be picked up. Can anyone tell me what the effect is on these insects from this plant. Thank you - Sherry Bailey
