RE: Butterflies in the garden
Sounds like a mystery, nevertheless, it is a very positive sign, since Monarch butterflies are threatened species, just like bees. Apparently best way to help them is to plant milkweed. Clearly, you have flowers in your garden, they also like.
We have always had road ditches full of milkweed...these days more and more invasive species ate taking over. Giant hogweed, wild parsnip, garlic mustard and the patches of milkweed are becoming fewer and fewer. My cousin is growing some and promises to plant some of it here. Do what we can, I guess!
