      It’s kinda trippy how much planting native plants has changed the types of bees we get in the yard. We do still get the typical honey bees, but there’s more variety now. Just the presence of the bumbles being higher is cool as hell.

      I’m still a little phobic of the little buggers, but I keep allergy meds and an epipen handy for my afternoon limps through the yard.

        Because they hate that honey bees and wild bees are eating the same food and keeping honey bees will not help against the extinction of the wild ones.
