Podcast Episode #6: How to Attract Native Bees to Your Garden

What’s all the buzz about native bees and how are they different from honeybees? In this podcast, I’ll visit with my special guest, Kara Carleton, Coordinator of the Idaho Master Gardener’s program and native bee enthusiast, and discuss why native bees are so important in our gardens and what you can do to bring more of these hard-working, yet docile insects into your landscape.

I love the color of these Italian Red of Florence I love the color of these Italian Red of Florence bunching onions. This bunch overwintered... I thought they'd be soft and mushy, but they are perfect. A testament to their hardiness and prefect for our cooler region.
