bumble bees on marigold
In a new study, a team of entomologists and horticulturalists at University of Wyoming found that planting several species of specialty cut flowers in “high tunnel” shelters attracted a wide variety of pollinating insects—such as bumble bees, shown here on marigold—which they say could be a potential boon to nearby crops as well as a source of supplemental income to growers.
