I wish I would have known this sooner. I have only two large bumblebees pollinating my garden. There are a few bees around but they will not come into my garden for some reason. 😢. I have been hand pollinating my butternut squash but it doesn’t work to well. I have to use a step ladder to tie my tomatoes today. The plants are beautiful and over six feet tall. I estimate there is about six hundred cherry tomatoes on them now.
