Pollinator question

B3B3 Posts: 27,505
If you have a pollinator's delight near to your tomatoes for example, are they more or less likely to pollinate your tomatoes?
Might they ignore them because you've provided something that they prefer?

    I work on the principle that most plants take a while to regenerate nectar B3 so if there are pollinators in the area they will look for a different source to make their journey worthwhile  :)

    Same principle as the bird feeder, aphids give them something to do while they wait.
