Of course, one point to ponder is that the honeybee is not >itself native to North America (or so I've been led to believe by some >aspiary types), so I wonder what the native pollinators are? I haven't seen a honeybee in my garden in four years. But I have lots of bumblebees, those big black-and-yellow flying marbles. They've always done a great job of pollinating my plants, including my red savinas, cherry peppers, hungarian yellow, and habbies (had to stay on topic <g>) Bumblebees are native. === Dave Sacerdote davesas@tiac.net Resist or Serve.
