The Journey In Search Of Insects In My Summer Garden

(Pls Watch in Full HD 720 or 1080 )
***** I thought I will go in search of some insects in my garden. Because one day when I was relaxing in my garden I saw groups of insects being busy with work and meeting each other in my garden. I was so happy to see this and this inspired me to this video..This year I saw 5 varities of butterflies but I do not know their names..There were two browns, one white & two light yellow ones.Lots of bees and other insects were also there. I was really happy to capture them to my video ********

***** I did few videos of my Summer Garden and thought of sharing with all of you..I have already posted 2 videos including this.
Hope you will like the beauty of it and enjoy few mins in my Summer Garden..I always appreciate your valuable time in spending at my videos and the kind words you always leave behind..It is a great pleasure for me.
My love and respect to all of you******

There is also an aesthetic pleasure in watching insects at work, just as much as there is in watching house martins build a mud nest or a bat swoop around the garden at dusk; it's seeing beauty at work.
Insects are too busy to worry about clever colour schemes and so the occasional less-than-spectacular flower is fine by them. Fennel, for instance, throwing up its green or bronze feathery pillars, topped by a cow-parsley plateaux of flowers on which the insects can land, helipad fashion. Teasels are excellent too. Bees come first, to feast on the mauve cones of flowers, followed by seed-eating birds & insects in winter.

Choosing the Right Flowers
======================
To help bees and other pollinator insects—like butterflies—you should provide a range of plants that will offer a succession of flowers, and thus pollen and nectar, through the whole growing season. Patches of foraging habitat can be created in many different locations, from backyards and school grounds to golf courses and city parks. Even a small area planted with good flowers will be beneficial for local bees, because each patch will add to the mosaic of habitat available to bees and other pollinators.

Native plants are usually best for native bees, and can be used in both wild areas and gardens. There are also many garden plants—particularly older, heirloom varieties of perennials and herbs—that are good sources of nectar or pollen. Together with native plants, these will make a garden attractive to both pollinators and people.

General Gardening Advice for Attracting Bees and Other Pollinators
=================================================
1.Don't use pesticides. Most pesticides are not selective. You are killing off the beneficial bugs along with the pests. If you must use a pesticide, start with the least toxic one and follow the label instructions to the letter.

2.Use local native plants. Research suggests native plants are four times more attractive to native bees than exotic flowers. They are also usually well adapted to your growing conditions and can thrive with minimum attention. In gardens, heirloom varieties of herbs and perennials can also provide good foraging.

3.Chose several colors of flowers. Bees have good color vision to help them find flowers and the nectar and pollen they offer. Flower colors that particularly attract bees are blue, purple, violet, white, and yellow.

4.Plant flowers in clumps. Flowers clustered into clumps of one species will attract more pollinators than individual plants scattered through the habitat patch. Where space allows, make the clumps four feet or more in diameter.

5.Include flowers of different shapes. There are four thousand different species of bees in North America, and they are all different sizes, have different tongue lengths, and will feed on different shaped flowers. Consequently, providing a range of flower shapes means more bees can benefit.

6.Have a diversity of plants flowering all season. Most bee species are generalists, feeding on a range of plants through their life cycle. By having several plant species flowering at once, and a sequence of plants flowering through spring, summer, and fall, you can support a range of bee species that fly at different times of the season.

7.Plant where bees will visit. Bees favor sunny spots over shade and need some
