Pollinator Boulevard

The bees are a buzzing... we counted over 200 bees on one boulevard by Ontario at 26th!

and we have two new yellow flowers that are bee friendly

Did you know we need our pollinators?  Honey Bees, Bumble Bees, Mason Bees, Lady Beetles, flies, many different insects are needed to keep our plants fertilized.  In fact, we couldn't grow many foods without them!  Jerry Seinfelds'  The Bee Movie is a fun family film about pollination told by the view of a bee played by Jerry.  For a rainy day (which won't happen very very soon - the sun, we promise, is coming soon to this neighbourhood!)
On that note, watering families are needed to help fill out the summer schedule.  If you have a half hour and a day or a week or a day of the week you'd like to water around wolfe, please email generalwolfegardens@gmail.com
