Honeybees are non-natives but, of course, they, too, do much good and many farmers depend on them.

I would like to keep the species and environment as natural as possible, but that is interesting that some foreign species can be beneficial. That should make gardeners feel good. I know the bees tend to like abundant flowers even from introduced plants, maybe the bees are even introduced. I'm always happy when I see the tiny native bees at work, I feel like they are more dependable as pollinators.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-41760372330254531892016-03-13T11:45:58.551-05:002016-03-13T11:45:58.551-05:00I look forward to reading your review.I look forward to reading your review.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-39693274888655366342016-03-13T11:40:39.470-05:002016-03-13T11:40:39.470-05:00"Some invasive species are benign or actually..."Some invasive species are benign or actually have benefits for their new ecosystem."
