My girlfriend and I love the small creatures that make our life of comfort possible. What would we do without bees? If they ceased to exist, fruits and vegetables would be very expensive for lack of effective pollinators.
Two years ago our garden was a “buzz” with bees, hummingbirds, and such. Last year there was hardly a bee around. Well, maybe dead ones floating in my swimming pool.
Needless to say, our vegetables did poorly, for lack of pollination.
My girlfriend pointed out that our garden is once again full of bees. The gentle hum of hundreds, of bees can be heard from our front patio once again!
Does this mean they are back for good? Did we help in some small way, by adding flowering plants to our low water usage landscape?
