45:31
Woo hoo! Happy Anniversary (almost), Ms. Debbie! :-)

46:44
the best garden ever!

48:55
any suggestions for how to hear Debbie speaking? I see power point slides and see Debbie talking but no sound.

49:23
Is your volume turned up on your keyboard?

49:25
you need to join with computer audio or there should be a call in option as well

49:26
Turn up the speakers on your computer.

49:49
Ellen, look at lower left for microphone icon. Use arrow to adjust settings.

50:03

01:03:03
beautiful!!

01:03:32
so cool!

01:03:45
Gorgeous images

01:04:13
Nature is incredible

01:04:21
WOW - who knew! Amazing!

01:04:49
Why are they called Bumble?

01:09:22
training bumblebees? might be a new hobby in isolation....

01:14:48
Cuckoo Bumble Bee...Wow!

01:15:08
pix of bumblebee vs honeybee

01:15:41
Like Cowbirds--predatory nesters

01:21:49
oh wow that's horrifying

01:21:58
So awful!!

01:28:57
what do you mean by alter pollination networks?

01:32:44
Also, the book by Elsa Y from NCSU has all native bees from our area!

01:33:09
My resource list that I am sending later will have all the books

01:35:32
Thanks, Debbie.

01:38:39
What an amazing resource!

01:38:40
There are lots of bumbles bees and carpenter bees here where I live east of Louisburg, NC. Don't know which types.

01:41:43
What should we do (if anything) when we find a dead bee in our yard for the benefit of research?

01:43:03
that was excellent, thank you

01:43:10
Thank you

01:43:12
Thanks, great content...

01:43:27
Thank you, Rich! Fabulous information!

01:43:45
Thank you Mr. Rich!

01:43:50
You're welcome!

01:43:52
Really, the technology we have available to us to do these things is amazing. Thank you, Rich!

01:44:13
Fascinating Rich. Thank you

01:44:29
That information was unbeelievable - thanks :)

01:44:46
:^)

01:44:54
Ha!

01:45:14
Thanks for BEEing so informative :)

01:45:49
will they forage on hellebores in early spring

01:45:56
Funny, I've never heard these bee puns before...

01:46:11
:)

01:46:17
Advice for what to plant in deer-heavy areas?

01:46:20
Hahaha, I'm sure ;)

01:46:48
if I spray some plants with deterrent to keep deer from eating them, will it keep bumble bees away? (Non-toxic)

01:47:20
That is a good question. Definitely try not to spray blooms.

01:47:40
thanks!

01:47:47
But spray on nonblooming plants should be fine

01:48:01
We have a huge population of carpenter bees. Do they compete with bumble bees and impact bumble bee population? Should we try to eliminate some carpenter bees?

01:48:13
No, carpenter bees are native too

01:48:20
part of the system!

01:48:29
I see a lot of bees on clover right now!

01:48:30
OK, thanks...

01:48:42
But, they can affect structures if they are nesting in your house. So beware...

01:49:21
Will bee houses (with the bamboo inserts) help with the carpenter bees? What other types of bees do they support?

01:49:53
Those provide nesting resources for mason bees and leafcutter bees

01:49:55
I'm a member of Xerces - thanks for your work there! Great publications....

01:50:03
Thanks, Dianne!

01:50:10
Thanks Rich!

01:50:30
Sure!

01:50:47
Advice for what to plant in deer-heavy areas?

01:51:15
Will buttonbush bloom the first year or do I need to wait?

01:51:48
I'm going to let Debbie answer some of these NC plant/deer questions

01:52:47
Thanks!

01:52:51
Joe-pye weed is a GREAT insect plant

01:53:08
Love Joe-pye!

01:56:20
what makes a plant a special value? Is it because they specialize on the plant?

01:56:24
The most species of bees on one plant was my Pycnanthemum virginianum. Virginia mountain mint

01:58:28
I’m a honeybeekeeper - we get SO many calls for bumble bees in bird houses

01:58:59
You can encourage people to submit nest sightings in Bumble Bee watch so we can learn more about them

01:59:17
I’ll add that to our Wake Co Beeekeeper web sit!

01:59:20
site

01:59:20
I didn't show that part of BBW, but here is a link: https://www.bumblebeewatch.org/app/#/checklist/nest/add

01:59:22
OK, will do...

02:00:23
is there something that will attack bumble bee nests? is there some way to protect them?

02:00:41
Ants are probably the biggest "pest"

02:01:04
But any predator will dig them up for the larvae. Lots of protein

02:01:24
unfortunately fire ants are now endemic here

02:01:28
I guess the more sites available then, the better chance they have.

02:01:32
Their stings do a pretty good job of protecting themselves from mammals

02:01:32
good to hear i have pipelines and no caterpillars yet so will be patient

02:02:26
do bumble bees need a water source

02:02:42
No.

02:02:56
Honey bees do to maintain honey viscosity.

02:03:10
Could you say again the best time to mow if we mow only twice a year?

02:03:13
I put a new kitchen scrubber to float on my bird bath. Bumble bees come and rest and drink.

02:03:25
But not bumble bees (at least not regularly - not saying they never drink water

02:03:27
when will recording be available

02:03:37
This was great, thanks so much...

02:03:40
What do you use for fire ants

02:03:53
You can add some small rocks into your birdbaths for the bees and hummingbirds.

02:03:58
Wonderful information Debbie and Rich!

02:04:28
What should we do if anything, if we find a dead bee in our yards, for the benefit of research?

02:04:36
please do more of these informative Zooms in the future.

02:04:57
You can submit data to bumble bee watch

02:05:06
individual dead bees may be natural

02:05:16
Do you have a specific native pollinator suggestions for wet clay soils with part shade? Lobelia?

02:05:26
Thank you, my 7-year old daughter and I learned a lot! We look forward to participating in BBW.

02:05:32
hundreds or thousands should be reported to department of agriculture or whoever manages pesticides in your state

02:05:32
what makes a plant a special value to bees? Is it because they specialize on the plant?

02:05:34
is your fireant treatment on your website?

02:06:02
This has been a fantastic educational experience. Thank you. Will be watching the recording many times.

02:06:10

02:07:07
Thank you both ! Great presentations.

02:07:11

02:07:12
Another great book is “The Bees of North Carolina” from NCSU Extension (not just bumble)

02:07:15
best times to mow the same as rake?

02:07:16
Great presentations! Thank you!

02:07:53
Thank you—very interesting. My favorite plant for native bees and wasps is Titi small tree.
