Montreal has over 400 years of ocean trade with Europe and every boat entering the port probably brought seeds with it that liked what they found and decided to settle..
I'm a great lover of bees, but three days ago I saw a bee in the street walking in tight little circles repeatedly. Since the asphalt was hot I tried to scoop the bee up with some dry grass. It refused rescue and kept circling. I haven't seen this behavior before. Was it sick or poisoned?
We definitely need to leave homes and hiding places for invertebrates.
Coltsfoot is a wonderful plant over here where it's native, sorry it's an invasive pest where you are!

It's the same across the world!
Keep fighting for bees! (And other arthropods, too.)

Can’t say … was it a hive bee or a wild one?
I don't know for sure but I suspect a wild one.
