Default luring insects into my greenhouse


"Michael Uplawski" wrote in message

Good evening.

It is becoming really dark outside and those waves of thunder come
nearer... I spontaneously decided to skip watering my garden, but to ask
you something, instead.

In our greenhouse, I see bumble bees and all sorts of other insects come
in and some are intelligent enough to find the way out again. There
should though be a little more shuttling activity, in my opinion.

Have you an idea, what could attract more polinisating insects ? I
already try sugared water but cannot claim that anybody were
interested in it.

[Oh, now I get photographed from above]. Okay, I will have to disconnect
my equipment and turn off the current.

Cheerio,

Michael

Anything yellow normally works so either grow some annual yellow flowered
plants or use the bright yellow stuff they use for sticky traps but
obviously without the sticky!
