Don,
I have a fear of bees, so I am hoping this garden will allow me to
appreciate what they do best.  I figure after a few months of observing
their behaivior, I should come to like them very well.  I  love snakes and
spiders, so they are welcome in my garden! :-)  I have 9 Marigold sprouts
today (just planted them indoors 4 days ago!) so looks like the bees will
have plenty to feast on in my garden!  Thanks for the encouragement!
