I used to see native Columbine in our timber when I was growing up in the early 1960’s.
Isn't it shocking how these plants that were once so prevalent are now nowhere to be seen?
Well done! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
One plant that really attracts pollinators for me is Rattlesnake Master. It's a gorgeous plant, the flowers smell like honey, and I see more pollinators on one plant, when it's blooming, than in my entire native garden at other times of the year.
It is beautiful! Such a unique structure!
I got excited about supporting native bees and attempted to house them in cardboard tubes. That was not successful for me. Now, I am leaving flower stems for them because lots of them visit my garden. This week I unearthed a yellow jacket nest. They stung me ten times and literally chased me into the garage. Now I see them hovering in the grass nearby as I work in the yard, but they seem undisturbed by my presence. I’m okay with their nest site and give them a wide berth.
Oh my, I am so sorry for what you went through. I'm glad to hear you have all now made peace with each other. It is so unfortunate that bees usually get blamed for the mayhem caused by yellow jacket wasps.
Yellow jackets are the only bee that’s ever bit me, completely unprovoked. The other bees are not biters.
@@lauriebruno3968 technically yellow jackets are wasps, not bees. They feed on insects as well as sweet things like soda pop. I found this year they’d appear every time I dug up some soil. We were having drought conditions and no doubt I was assisting them in finding food.
Nice tour again.
Big thank you from down in Florida! I’m looking to help out native bees and figured I may as well look into Native plants here as well
Thank you for caring about the native bees and for planting native! Maybe check out Rattlesnake Master, it is native in Florida and a pollinator magnet: www.prairienursery.com/rattlesnake-master-eryngium-yuccifolium.html
wonderful as always
Thank you for watching and for supporting our pollinators!
Catherine, if you want to see a karner blue, take a day trip to one of the sanctuaries. I did it to the one in Newago MI. Saw.lot.of karner blues. You need to watch the calendar to be there when they are emerging. There isn't a parking area, so I plan to locate another sanctuary elsewhere this year.
That's a great idea! I wasn't sure if they would have a karner blue at a sanctuary since they are so rare. So glad to know they do. Thank you!
Hover flies
Yep! Great pollinators!
