We have many honeybees, mason bees, bumblebees, butterflies, moths, various wasps and hornets, and birds who take turns pollinating plants from February through mid December.

Gnu is correct that we encourage mason bees in particular. So far they have found plenty of natural holes for egg laying, but we are readying good locations for nest blocks as we reclaim our neglected orchards, gardens and surrounding land.

Thanks for the heads-up, gnu. It's an interesting thread.
