To All
 
 I'm not a beekeeper but do have a small orchard in NW Wi.  Reading all
 the interesting posts maybe soneone out there could give me some
answers.  There are few if any bees in this area, just dissapeared the
 last two years or so.
 Questions; 1. Would it help to draw in wild bees if I put hummingbird
               feeders in the orchard??
            2. The orchard bee house, would it be effective this area??
            3. Is there a way to keep from the holes, much like sparrows
               take over bird houses?
 Would appreciate any answers you all might provide, thankyou.
