enticements for bees
Hi to all gardeners Does anyone have any suggestions on how to entice bees
to increase their numbers? What flowers do they particularly like? Do those little bee houses actually work? I no longer use insecticides - except on rare occasions when a prized plant is about to succumb - and then only such specific things as bacillus thuringensis for caterpillers and spray only that particular spot where the nasties are. Could even this small amount of spray be too much for the bees? I even dug up all the roses that seemed to have black spot all the time. I have a lot of flowers in summer and despite being in my garden everyday for a couple of hours, I only see about 5 bees a summer. Can home gardens help bees in some way or has the problem originated in some area other than than residential yards? Thanks for any suggestions Clarissa Vancouver BC |
