Thank you very much for the replies. This information is certainly

I have however one more question. I see that many of you wouldn't
feel motivated to garden bee-friendly because honey isn't that
important.

I don't see that at all from the responses here, this is a
pre-prepared second round reply from you. If you want honest answers
from strangers it would be better to show your own bona fides and
avoid thoughtless copy/paste. The fact that you are missing is that,
aside from honey, bees fertilise many flowering plants including some
significant food crops. Something that HB and DER are no doubt aware
of but didn't say this time.

What if instead you take part in a scheme where you collect points
for being bee-friendly and you get to spend them on plants and
gardening tools in gardening centers or could add them to your
membership points in a food chain as the Co-Operative.

This scheme is sophomoric to say the least.

Wow, another Usenet conversation off the rails.
Who would have guessed.


What would you suggest instead then?

Hey, I'm as bee-friendly as anyone can get.
I put vinyl siding on my house.
The bees love that stuff.

Painted with honey hmmmmm.
