Seeb's flowers & a beekeeping question
Seeb:
My grandmother gave me a cutting off her Thanksgiving cactus when I was still a teenager, and this is from her mother plant.
I love giant Zinnia's and always plant enough to share with friends. Just noticed that squirrel on the light pole - he was probably waiting for me to leave so he could raid my veg garden.
Question: Zinnia's are big butterfly/moth attractants. Will Zinnia's attract the wax moth that takes over our hives?

Gorgeous flowers, especially that Christmas cactus! I have a tiny one on a desk, and it's no where near as happy as that! I'm pretty sure that the wax moths do not eat at all during their adult phase, so I doubt that any flowers would serve as attractants for them.
Seeb:
I was wondering if I would be smart not to plant them since I'm getting back into bees this year, thanks for your input 15th

Seeb, I would encourage you to continue planting them for the beauty and splendor. Your flowers are very nice.
