I’m putting this on hold for a bit.

I’ve had bees on the brain recently. So, I was considering trying to attract some more bees to the yard, other than the wood bees that delight in our roof. Today while playing outside with my nephew I noticed about 5 or 6 bees in the clover, and I’m pretty certain they’re honey bees. I don’t know if perhaps someone has a hive they’re keeping somewhere around here, or if they’re wild bees but I like the idea of making the yard more attractive for them and hopefully help out the hive, since I know a lot of colonies are struggling and dying out. I’m going to start by asking that at least one patch of clover not be cut down when the lawn is mowed and then I’ll start figuring out what kinds of plants might attract them.

This goal could be worded better, since I can’t make the bees come to my yard, but I’ll consider it as finished when I’ve done a few things to try and attract them.
