Quite Few posts. I did not have time to read them all.
Bumble bees are everywhere that I have gardened, CT, GA and now WA.

Yeah, those tiny bees are everywhere. But we see bumble bees more because they are big. Bumble bees are very active and hard working. They work all day, till dusk, take a nap on big flowers. They keep going back and forth to the same flower many times. They loved Tomatillo flowers , 4 O'clock , herbs flowers ( bee balm in particular). Honey bees love clovers more than any thing.

But why do we need pollinators for tomatoes, peppers. I sure need them for cucurbits.
