Wild Flora (post #7), In the confusion of trying to figure out why this site won’t let me post (I’m apparently “not authorized to perform this action”)URLs to other websites, I’ve found yours, and it appears that the information I was trying to make available (the list of native flowering plants in the northeastern U.S.) is actually available on your fine website. So there you go.

Wonderful, wonderful article.  I am emailing this around.  It would be great to know if there are similar projects going on in other places.

Here are two websites about native bees:

http://www.gnb.ca/0171/10/0171100025-e.asp

These are very informative about native bees in northeastern North America. See next post for a website for native plants in this same area.

Hre’s the website for the New England Wildflower Society’s list of available native plants:

These sites cover the information I said I’d make available for the northeast.

I live in Orinda Ca and I have a bank of native CA sages of different varieties in full flower. My plants of Salvia sonomensis have 5 species of native bees as well as honey bees all over it. There is a wonderful hybrid sage called ‘Winnifred Gilman’ that fills the entire garden with fragrance when it blooms as well as nurturing bees.

I want to save native bees but really need to relocate the colony that has taken up residence in a hole in our backyard.  The bees attack and sting us anytime we need to trim trees or work on the hill near (10-20 feet away) the nest.

Any idea on how to relocate an underground colony that is very aggressive?
