Honeybee Nectar

There's been articles and interviews on the blight of the honeybee -- why are the populations declining? I'm sure many of you have seen it your own backyards. This year, I kept saying to Rick, "Where are the honeybees? If you see any, let me know." There was concern at first about pollination of fruits and vegetables, but I seem to have a healthy population of small bumblebees that seem to be doing an excellent job. But it didn't take long for the honeybees to show up once the milkweed started blooming. All the blossoms are literally covered with honeybees and I welcomed them with open arms. But that seems to be the only plant they are feeding on. It's odd. So you want honeybees next year? Plant milkweed!
