I think I’m gonna have to gets some. Didn’t see them this year and believe it affected my garden. My green beans never produced. Lima beans were lacking. I think the only reason I had corn and watermelons is I got out there and hand pollinated them. They say if the bees all die there will be mass starvation. I believe it.

I'd like to have bees as well but I have too many irons in the fire. Lack of bees shouldn't have effected your corn since it's pollinated by wind.

You can also make a small fortune bee keeping. Yep, you just have to start with a large fortune.  A bit costly to get started but can be a very rewarding hobby. Learned so much when beekeeping.

I looked into it. But decided I had enough money flowing down rabbit holes and covered that one back up.
Odd thing, my stuff still gets pollinated without many bees. I've noted a variety of gnats, flies, wasps and other relatively harmless bugs all over the blooms.
I recon that works just as well.
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
