Sažetak
Goldenrod, native to North America was introduced into Europe in the 19th centuary as ornamental plant. However, this plant has become widespread and is a serious invader of abandoned fields, forest edges and river banks. Goldenrod represents an important source of nectar for honey bees, particularly as a reserve to help colonies survive the winter period. Although is insect pollinated plant, it shed much more pollen than is carried off by insects. The pollen may become atmospheric and can cause hay fewer during its pollination period in August.
