More adult players are now investing in the protective equipment.
Visitors at this year’s Farm Progress Show can buy some leafcutter bee larvae.
These bees won’t produce any honey but will give you a garden instead.
“They’re going to pollinate the flowers in your backyard. They’re also going to give you the enjoyment of watching creation go about its way in life,” Jed Williams from the Backyard Pollinator said Wednesday during the Greg Morgan Morning Show.
“They’re really good to observe. You can get really close to your leafcutter bees, maybe a couple feet away or even have your head right in their space.”
Williams said the larvae take about 23 to 40 days to hatch. They come in a decorative box that can be attached to fixtures in the backyard.
“You can be sitting in your kitchen doing dishes at the sink, watching your leafcutter bees buzzing in and out your kitchen window,” he said.
He added there’s no need to worry about protective equipment as leafcutter bees don’t tend to sting.
