    Bees collect nectar for nutrition and they collect pollen as their protein source. These activities pollinate as a by-product. Honey bees collect a lot of nectar to refine into honey to survive the winter months. This makes the honey bee ideal for some flowering plants which have a lot of nectar that the honey bee needs. Many native species have short lifecycles. Some only during a bloom of a particular flower. This is why native bees make better pollinators as a whole. Honey bees pass up many flowers that have little benefit to them as a nectar source. Native bees collect the pollen that would be undisturbed by the honey bee.













  • Mountain west and it went from a mild spring to scorching summer very quick. I put a drip line in this year which is working fantastically. I was only watering once a week and thought it was adequate even in the heat, but I was wrong. Lost my zucchini last week. Started watering a bit more to make sure I don’t loose anything else.

    My tomatoes are loving it. They seem to be doing great.







  • Similar issue here. I’m using Connect and it doesn’t show any of my subscriptions. However, if I click on my frontpage it does populate with my subscriptions. When I go to the website it does list my subscriptions. I don’t think you’ve lost them. They’re just hidden for some reason.
