I often get a lot of honeybees, bumblebees and carpenter bees on my property, but this year I've noticed the carpenters seem to be particularly abundant. They seem to like my raspberry bushes, but I was thinking about building a pollinator garden in the corner of my yard not too far from the raspberries. I was wondering what kinds of plants the carpenters might like? I assume given their size, plants with a flatter flower would be more useful for them? Any suggestions? :smily:

Plants that the honeybees and bumblebees might also like would be a bonus. They spend a lot of time around the raspberries and milkweeds already, but I'd love to give everyone some more variety.
Слава Україні! Slava Ukraini! Glory to Ukraine!
