The comments in this thread make me happy that we have a yard full of bees despite living in suburbia. Our yard might be a bit of an island though - lots of clover in our lawn, a large cone flower bed, two decent sized rose of Sharon, two milkweed beds, the list goes on. Gotta help those pollinators out. The flowers look nice too. It doesean we have to weed some, but I couldn’t imagine a hydrangea and boxwood only landscape.
