re: #67 teleskiguy

Well-intentioned, but an entomologist of my acquaintance has pointed out that Cheerios is trying to distribute non-native wildflower seeds….which would not have the desired effect of encourage all the various kinds of local bees, which are adapted to local flora.

Most bees aren’t the apis mellifera.

Definitely find out what your local bees harvest from and grow that.

ETA: same deal with ragweed stands for monarch butterflies. Find out what your regional ragweed type is.
