WHO IS PUNCHING HOLES IN MY LEAVES? THEY’RE BAAAAK!
Leaf cutter bees are seen as pests by some gardeners, as they can make a mess of the foliage on a favorite rosebush or shrub by making their half moon shaped precision cuts out of the leaves. See the photo of the example of the cut outs they leave on the leaves of their plants of choice.
They do not eat the foliage as pests such as caterpillars and grasshoppers will. The leaf cutter bees use the foliage they cut out to make nest cells for their young.
The cut piece of leaf is formed into what might be called a nursery chamber where the female cutter bee lays an egg. The female cutter bee adds some nectar and pollen to each little nursery chamber. Each nest cell looks a bit like the end of a cigar. Leaf cutter bees are not social, like the honeybees or wasps (yellow jackets), thus the female cutter bees do all of the work when it comes to rearing the young.
They are not an aggressive bee and do not sting unless handled, even then their sting is mild and far less painful than a honeybee or wasp sting.

HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THE DAMAGED LEAF IS FROM AN INSECT OR A DISEASE OR WHAT?
ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!
In this week’s archived show from previous years, the Garden Guru was giving some gardening advice about how to identify leaf damage and what actually causes it this time of year. Many times, the damage is caused by a variety of insects or disease but weather or environmental damage can also occur – and it looks similar to the damage by insects or disease.
From scorching sun and hail to leaf cutter bees, aphids and spider mites, damage to a plant’s leaves can be determined by letting our gardening experts diagnose the problem. Bringing in a sample is best. Listen to Lynn’s tip for more information.

ZODIAC SIGNS AND GARDENING? HERE’S THIS CYCLES PROFILE.
by The Old Farmer’s Almanac
Here’s THIS MONTHS ZODIAC SIGN PROFILE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU GARDEN:
GEMINI (MAY 21 to JUNE 21)
Gemini finishes the spring, but the sense that a change of seasons is near keeps you light and airy. Plants that mimic your style, such as dill, calendula, caraway, and parsley, are easy for you to grow and make your heart dance. Wild carrots and dandelions—whose airborne seeds swirl and twirl in the wind—bring joy and contentment. You find yellow flowers particularly captivating, and dashes of this color can be found liberally in your yard. Salads grace your evening meals (the quickness of “wash and eat” is indescribably tantalizing). Toss some calendula blossoms right in the bowl for an added dash of pizzazz and panache.
