[QUOTE="lynnmcmahan, post: 1001586, member: 14607"] Since our honeybees seem to be on the down side in south MS, I started looking at what is pollinating around my house. I did see a bee this AM but most pollinators appear to be small bumble bees. Done some reading and found they might just be mason bees. After reading, I decided to build some mason bee houses and see if any move in. I have four citrus trees that have a bumper crop every year so something is pollinating them. Last year I noticed bumble bees in my veggie garden. Also, Last year I noticed a bunch of bees that looked like honeybees, just a shade darker, out at the garden that were nesting in the ground (not yellow jackets). Think they might be digger bees? They are back this year, if they ever left. Been an outdoorsman for 70 years and am amazed at the things that are new to me. [/QUOTE]
