This spring, I took several photos of bees in our rhodies. We had honey bees
visiting from next door, several kinds of bumble bees (ones with orange butts,
large black ones with two bright yellow stripes, and some smallish
non-descript ones), and maybe a mason bee or two. There were also hover flies
and blue-bottle flies. There were many bees at each plant all the time during
that heat wave.

Hmm. Now that I think about it, the nightshade is at my window, while
I only see the rhodies when I'm getting in and out of the car. Could be
an observational bias on my part. Mine are certainly not manicured or
sprayed. I'll have to watch them more closely next year. Do other
people find that rhodies are attractive to wildlife?
