Dead Rasberry Canes as Bee Habitat
Comments (9)I have little bees who live in my rose canes :) The favorite bee rose I've found is bracteata. The bumblebees sleep on the stamens like pillows! Or they are drunk on the nectar, lol. That one gets out of hand in warm climates, though. The bees who tunnel into my canes aren't picky, so a smaller rose would do, too. Leaf-cutter bees take parts of the leaves of roses also. I have all sorts of bees. They love creeping charlie early on, and then nepeta and clover, ornamental sages, then they adore the anise hyssop when it blooms now through fall. Later, they love the sedums. They like a lot else, too, but those are always covered with them. I didn't realize there were so many kinds of bees until my gardens really got going :) My lawn is rampant with lovely clover, so I step on way too many all season, but I feel worse for them than the painful toes. eta: I forgot that they flock to the lamb's ears flowers if you let those grow. They are so crazy about them I didn't cut them down until they looked awful. They came back really fast, so no need to wait (unless the bees won't let you cut them!)

Comments (62)I think an attitude adjustment could be just the thing you need. You sound negative and miserable, and that's going to follow you wherever you go. So many people don't even have the luxury of having a roof over their heads, let alone one in such a vibrant city full of opportunity. I am an apartment dweller now by choice at age 49, after years of home ownership. I hear my neighbor's dog barking sometimes, and they also I'm sure hear mine. I hear kids playing in the nicely landscaped courtyard at night. Sometimes the elevator is broken, and I need to take the stairs up to my 5th floor apartment. I gave up my beautiful home and garden to live here, at least for now. Do I love it? YES. I have literally NO to-do list anymore, my building is relatively new, so it's in good condition. I spend my weekends getting out in my community, having lunch with friends, reading on my sofa and taking guilt-free afternoon naps since I have no maintenance chores to stress me out. I get beautiful light coming in the big windows and door that lead to my balcony. If a lightbulb goes out, I make a phone call. I am going to save thousands of dollars because instead of spending money for a bathroom redo, fence repairs, or whatever, that money is going straight into my bank account where it can grow. I also feel quite safe - my building has restricted access which is a deterrent for crime. Much easier for these folks to just rob a dark suburban home and get away with it. When I want to move, I will do so with virtually no headache at all. I'm living simply - this space is half what my home was so I am not accumulating a bunch of useless things. I must be mindful about purchases as they will take up precious storage space. Shift your perspective and watch your situation improve!...See MoreBees Bees and more Bees!
Comments (3)We had an ungodly number of bees, wasps and dirt dobbers this year. They never stung us but they were everywhere. Whe then had a flock of birds come and live with us, 2 adults and 4 little ones from what I could tell. My wife said they were roosting but I don't know what that means. Maybe it means pooping all over everything because that's what I saw. Now all the insects are gone including the bees, wasps and DD's. I don't know if the birds ate them or ran them off or maybe the two things have nothing in common but I like the birds the best if something has to live with us....See MoreSally_G
