Is there any way to attract bumblbees in one's landplot?
- qup 7mo agoThey're after low-lying flowering plants, on my property. Basically weeds in the grass.

Im not great with identifying flowers; looked like Hibiscus maybe, but in a somewhat dense bush or hedge structure. Anyway, the bumblebees loved that. Didn't notice them anywhere else on the property, and the first time I saw them (4-5yo) I was quite terrified and would have remembered. They were huge and fury with bold colors and not afraid me, but not so scary after I learned about paper wasp from playing around in the wood-shed.
- miriam_catira 7mo agoIt really depends on where you live. I've found this site useful: https://xerces.org/pollinator-conservation/pollinator-friendly-plant-lists https://xerces.org/pollinator-conservation/pollinator-friend... Make a few beds and allow them to be "wild" based on your region. All sorts of pollenating insects will show up, eventually.
