8/13/21 Sunflowers
From the 12' plants in some gardens to the knee-high Woodland Sunflowers in hot, rocky forests, the genus Helianthus is diverse and abundant. The same could be said for its bee visitors. There are specialist bees in at least three genera, with several field-identifiable species that may occur in VT but haven’t yet been found. Its worth checking a variety of species and/or cultivars since there seems to be some segregation of the bees depending on the plant species/morphology.
