How many native bee species are there in Canada?
Believe it or not, Canada has about 2,000 species of bees! There are not only honey and bumble-bees but also leafcutter, carpenter, sweat, mason, orchard, and digger bees to name a few. All are important pollinators.
You may attract more than butterflies to your garden — other pollinators, such as bees, may also appreciate your efforts.
