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?

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)
