See no honeybee’s or any other pollinator’s around my plants. Back in day if had open soda can it would attract honeybee’s and other insects that crave sugar. Been over year I seen hardly any pollinators? IMO not good sign?

For the past month or so our landscape guy is afraid to go to the back of our house due to all the bees swarming around.

Should we send some your way?

Yes, I haven’t seen any honeybees since the neighbor down street had hive in his irrigation box and gassed them.

Probably because they're all on the bottle brush plants in my back yard. Not to mention the seed pods on my palms. No shortage here

Honeybees are not a native species and because of this are always "on the edge". Other insects pollinate including the dreaded non-native love bug. Life goes on.

Well, life getting harder, we see how far it will go. Well, maybe not me.

I cut out any seed pods in my palms. I don’t like the mess they make.

I too had a few on my bottlebrush tree.

Well I dressed in yellow and black with my q-tip and pollinated my sweet yellow 🍉 melons.
