I bought a rosette sundew earlier labelled Drosera x Nagamoto. It has
flowered profusely all summer and has now set seed. Should this hybrid
set seed, and can I expect it to be fertile?

There were several correspondents about the bee mite thread, so there
must be a few apiarist subscribers. If any apiarist can answer this question,
please reply privately. The seed packet for my Deadly Nightshades (Atropa
Belladonna) claims that all parts of the plant are poisonous, presumably
including the pollen. The bees seem to love the flowers. Am I killing the
local bee population, or are they producing poisonous honey?

Good Growing, NigelH
