While wisteria is a beautiful flower, they can take 7 to 10years to bloom...I would go with a butterfly bush...they grow tall, and are beautiful, with Similar flowers...they also attract many varietires of bees, butterflies, moths, etc...Good luck!!! P.s. they also provide homes for hummingbirds, etc...

I don't think mid-March is an active bee time where I live. I couldn't say.

I have a Black Dragon Wisteria but it did not bloom this year because I planted it in the summer. I do know that my Russian sage attracts honeybees every year and I use to have a Summersweet and every year around July 4th, it was covered with honeybees. Honey bees are endangered in the wild and not as common to see anymore. You may want to look into buying a home for Mason bees. They are said to be the best pollenators and they are really fascinating.

I have these bees too. I don't think so. The problem is where to apply the product. I'd change my response to say that if you could figure a way to put this where they burrow probably.

I didn't have a lot of bees or butterfly last year but I know they do like them, not necessarily as much as they do wild flowers tho. But these are the most beautiful marigolds I've ever grown! And "seeds and things" have my vote for being a reputable seller! !

The plant pictured is a hummingbird bush, but it is a tropical plant and is supposed to get small berries that turn almost black when ripe. My plant is still quite small and I have not had it long enough to get either flowers or fruit, but I live in South Florida where it will be evergreen and it is doing well. Your plant may not be this one since the fruit you describe sounds like it is larger.

The bees are still attracted to this feeder but can't get in the "yellow blossom" holes. Ants are the biggest problem as they can enter through the "yellow blossom" holes. I try to deter the ants by putting a strip of double-sticking tape on the window glass surrounding and away from the feeder. Thedouble-sticking tape on the window glass doesn't look great but it does the trick.

not sure but this is the second year from planting the seeds and the plants are beautiful and stay bunched together and have not spread all over the place. I have planted them under my fruit trees and near the pond and it has not gotten out of control like I was hoping but beautiful and the bees love it.

Yes, I believe the photo on Amazon is correct. I have the Vintage Sunburst and it's pretty. I think the Honeybees will be as well.

Yes, it is suppose to be self pollinating. Mine is not old or big enough yet - but I am patiently waiting. Good luckBonnie

Perhaps it's only coincidental, or perhaps my HOA's landscaping treatments are to blame, but I rarely see bees around my garden. It's not clear whether it's the Bayer or some other factor. It could be that the Bayer simply *deters* the bees (I don't see any dead or struggling bees), same as it does other insects.

from what i've read, the fragrance increases with age in all honeysuckles. mine haven't flowered yet, so i'm unsure.what i do know is many supossedly fragrant jasmines i've purchased have no scent. i think the fault lies with the growers.

I've used 2 Flies Be Gone traps so far and have not seen any dragon flies or bees in them. (and I would stop using it if it killed bees!!!) I don't think the smell that it emits would attract a bee.

Not sure about the how or why but I can promise you that it works. I did put one dead bee in the jar thinking it would attract more.

As far as I can tell, bees aren't attracted to the bait (a plastic container with the chemical inside it) or the gel (chemical delivered by a syringe). Only ants have been attracted to the bait. I still have a carpenter bee problem.

If you paint the flowers yellow, chances are you will have Bees and Wasps feeding from it. Bees and Wasps are attracted to the yellow color and not the red. Be patient and make sure that your Nectar is fresh, two to five days is the maximum that I would leave Nectar out. If in a few days you do not see results, try moving your feeder around. NOTE THIS FEEDER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH #384 NECTAR GUARD TIPS!

I haven't tried this honey, and I buy organic, but an "organic" label on honey is silly to me. Honey bees can range miles and miles away from their hive, meaning that even if bee keepers are careful of their immediate surroundings, there's absolutely no way to guarantee that a bee hasn't taken nectar from treated crops, or GMO crops. Just something to think about before you spend more on "organic" honey :)

No. Not necessarily. It can be used in the springduring build up and the fall as bees prepare for winter. I know some who feed it all year to weak hives. If you live in an area with less diversity in flowering plants, i'd consider it.

I would contact the manufacturer for the best answer. I did read in the description, "not to allow to drift to blooming plants when bees are in the area".
