[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why Native Plants Matter:https://www.audubon.org/content/why-native-plants-matter Key points: Low maintenance Beauty Healthy places for people (fewer chemicals required) Helping the climate (less need to mow, etc.) Conserving water Wildlife [/quote] Thanks but I disagree that natives by definition are more beautiful (though I can see that they might fit better into a certain setting) . Was more interested in whether natives attract more bees. [/quote] They are def more beautiful, imo, if you pick the right fit for your yard. And 100 yes, they support and attract more bees. We also raise Mason bees (which are early season bees and native; very effective pollinators). Honeybees are also important but not native and not as effective. Masons don't sting (well one of the sexes can't and the other almost never does). And they are very entertaining to watch. [/quote]
