Sunflowers are bee magnets.

I'm learning that where I'm at, it's almost entirely Bumble bees. If I have them marked correctly, you can tell by the red dots on their back.

Those are the natural ones. Native to North America. Honey bees were actually imported

I actually knew that one๐Ÿคฃ Downside is it makes my capturing local honey bees on my property a lot less likely. That was a big hope of mine.

You should get in the honey bee business. It's right up your alley. Doesnt take up a lot of room. Honey is health blood and lucrative. And they just get to work. Its a no lose deal.

I've seen a couple of attempts out here, and they only last a year or two. I'm afraid of jumping into it and failing because I didn't have enough resources for them. It's mostly pine trees and prairie grass. I've looked into pricing for a Nuc and it's not something I feel I can

What is causing them to fail?

Educated guess on my behalf is they're probably not native to the area. So the winter is a pretty big shock when it hits that -20. They largely dislike what does pollinate out here, and the window is short. We go from pretty wet in the spring to dry and hot in the summer.

Unfortunately I'm moving in a few months so I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Totally feel you. Tuna melts should be a reward, not a punishment! Homemade sourdough only makes it worse ๐Ÿคฃ

Sunflowers and bees are some of my most favorite things. I'm so excited to be a bee keeper but am trying to get a food source setup for them first. I grow corn and Sunflowers for them and as chicken feed and plan on adding 2 acres of clover. I'll eventually rotate sheep on it.
