Well, the rain may have helped, but your magnificent garden with all those blossoms and blooms was the true attraction! Enjoy your bees--you earned them.
Whew, glad your bees finally showed up!! This is the first year I have good stands of Monarda in both the front and back gardens and am finding out why it's also called Bee Balm. I highly recommend having lots of it in the garden.
I'm so pleased the bees have found you Donna. I'm sure they'll stay around now that they've seen what your lovely garden has to offer.
