Just from an unscientific perspective, when my yuppie neighbors decided they needed to saturate their lawns with hazmat to make sure that every blade of grass was green, the honeybee population in my yard nosedived, and for a couple of years there were _none_. This year, since the neighbors no longer have the $ or interest to maintain their chemical barrage, the honeybees are back in force. Interestingly, during their absence there was an explosion in the number of carpenter bees visiting the plants, and now they are competing. Maybe the carpenters’ great size makes them more resistant to toxins? I wonder how carpenters rate vs honebees in efficiency of crop pollinization?
