Re: No Bees

Jan,

I would not reccomend spending money for leaf cutter bees.  If they don't
find something in your yard to cut, they'll go to your neighbor's etc.
Wouldn't they be thrilled to know that someone brought them in on
purpose!!? :0   As has been written by a few others, bees actually only
make up a small part of the pollinators.  Also, if in fact, you just don't
have any activity at all, you can get out there with a few Q-tips and do a
little pollen spreading yourself.  Good luck!
