Leaf cutter bees are visiting. In addition to bits of leaves, baby bees will have rose petals protecting them. #pollinatorWeek #gardening #nature
Are #honeybees the most effective pollinators?
Rarely.
“Although high visitation frequencies make honeybees important pollinators, they were less effective than the average bee and rarely the most effective pollinator of the plants they visit. As such, honeybees may be imperfect substitutes for the loss of wild #pollinators, and safeguarding pollination will benefit from #conservation of non-honeybee taxa.”
