Bees are the best-known pollinators, which makes their presence in the garden extremely important

I had the opportunity to catch some bees just at the time they were doing their job of pollinating the yellow flowers of my pumpkin plant. In Venezuela, the population of bees has declined, however they find suitable space in my garden because I do not use chemicals but only fertilizers and natural pest control.



As a curious fact I will tell you that pumpkin flowers are edible in the form of croquettes
