Скачать или смотреть Native Bees are the SECRET to a BOUNTIFUL Organic Garden

Just to be clear - I’m not a honeybee hater. But anything that makes gardening easier, more productive, and more in sync with how nature actually works? That’s a win in my book. And that’s exactly why I’m such a fan of native bees.
Sweat bees, squash bees, longhorn bees - these wild pollinators aren't just fascinating to watch. They’re better at pollinating many of the crops we grow, especially if you're gardening organically.
Across 600 farms worldwide, native bees boosted yields more than honeybees.Squash bees alone handled 95% of pumpkin pollination - no hives required.Even apple orchards saw over $1 billion in added value from native bees - even when honeybees were present.And buzz pollination? Native bees like bumblebees and longhorns can do it. Honeybees can’t.
If you want more fruit, bigger harvests, and less time hand-pollinating, you don’t need to become a beekeeper. You just need to make space for the pollinators already living in your neighborhood.
Support native bees by doing a few simple things:
Grow a diverse mix of flowers from early spring to fall that provide both nectar and pollen.
Prioritize native plants, but also include non-invasive, climate-adapted species from similar bioregions. (For me in Zone 10/Southern California, that includes plants from other Mediterranean climates.)
Leave bare soil or spent stems for nesting.
Avoid all sprays, even organic ones, during bloom.
Let parts of your garden stay a little wild.

Working with nature always yields more than working against it. #easygardening #gardeningforbeginners #nativebees #organicgardening #gardeninginspiration #gardeninspo
