Vonnie Kolbenschlag: Consider role of native insects By Vonnie Kolbenschlag I appreciate Joyce's wise and caring comments about plants. Along with caring for native plants, we need to consider the part native insects play in pollinating many plants that are not wind pollinated. Honey bees are not the only bees that pollinate plants. The little native mason bees pollinate many more plants than the honey bees: they are solitary little bees that do not sting - because they do not need to protect their honey food supply. They live for only one summer. They live in small holes, depositing an egg with "pollen food" and walling the hole with mud (thus the name "mason") during the summer. The larva form and hatch out as full grown bees in the spring. The Fall Heritage Festival at Homeplace on Green River September 12 will have a class on how to build a mason bee "condo" to encourage more mason bees. In the meantime here are some ideas to encourage more native mason bees. 1. add native plants 2. reduce size of close cut lawns 3. use less or no chemicals 4. grow food (pollination is the key) 5. provide \"condos\" for mason bees. --Vonnie Kolbenschlag Comments re article 76369 Joyce Coomer The uses of weeds This story was posted on 2015-07-10 21:31:07
