are mosquitos pollinators?

40:27
male mosquitos do help pollinate some plants, but research is lacking.

44:03
I don't see any decline in WOOD BORING BEES. Can you discuss them?

47:35
Can you touch on carpenter bees?

50:49
carpenter bees are native, 1 species in the area, nests in soft wood, they are important pollinators. Best to not build with exposed soft wood greater than 1/2 thick, and then plug the holes in larger diameter wood when you see it to control the populations...steel wool then caulk

51:13
carpenter bees are not a stinging issue

51:25
they also have the largest insect egg in the world

51:27
