Hello,
Does anyone know if bees like powdery mildew?
We have a small pumpkin patch, but due to the warm weather powdery mildew has affected it badly.
I have noticed a lot of bees around the pumpkins during the afternoon but they seem to be spending their time on the leafs affected by the mildew not the flowers?
They are crawling over the leaf surface, with their heads against the surface.
They appear to be European bees, not the native bees.
Would any one know what the bees are doing?
Thanks,
Daisy and David
