I am giong to use the idea fro the little sacrete pond and put some out like that. As for the little bees, my queen Anne's lace has bloomed and when I go out I can walk by and hear all the buzzing. Theya re so cute. No threat to me. They love the white lace. I also don't have as many robins this year. Usually can't count them there are so many. I love mother nature. Isn't it funny how the "advertisement abouve the quick reply box is for feeders. Modern technology amazes me. LOL
I leave my feeders with fresh sugar/water up for 2 weeks longer than I see my last bird. They have to eat every 15 minutes or they will die. I know many people believe taking the feeders down drives the bird forward. If anyone knows that it has been proven true I will take it into consideration. /Regards, Dorothy
