Hi. Since we had several fruit trees in our backyard last year that
developed blosoms, but no fruit, (these were cherry, apple, pear, and a
peach tree), and some rasberry bushes that did absolutely nothing except
grow taller, I thought I'd ask for some help. I assume that things need
to be polinated better around here. What should I plant to atract bees to
my yard? Yes, yes, I know, plant flowers, but do honeybees or bumblebees
have any particular favourites? Should I mix up some sugar and water and
spray the fruit trees with it a couple times in the spring; or will that
just attract flies?
Chris. (please email to [log in to unmask])
P.S. We've had temps in the low 70's this week, but the only thing I've
noticed around are paper wasps, which are probably going to attempt to
build a nest in our pine tree. (shudder)
... ARRRRRGGGHHH!!!! ... Tension breaker, had to be done.
