Great video! Thanks for sharing!
They are eating nectar not going after pollen…?
@dictionaryzzz Very few exotics support biodiversity. One exception would be Scarlet Milkweed (Asclepias curavassica) which is both a host plant (for caterpillars) and nectar plant for Monarch butterflies and it supports Milkweed bugs and Milkweed beetles. Natives are always best since they are adapted for your particular climate and have developed relationships with their pollinators and seed dispersers over thousands of years.
@YolandaVanveen I agree as long as they are controlled in a greenhouse setting. Once people use them outdoors that’s when things get out of control. Especially if the plant has wind dispersed seeds and growths in a similar climate or has roots that are nearly impossible to remove like bamboo so it gets a foot hold.
@squito94 I read that a mixture of exotics and natives is actually the best type of garden. It provides the most biodiversity. Exotics are okay as long as there not invasive
