Yes, they prefer the natives to the hybrids mainly because the hybrids are either hard for them to collect nectar from or don't have pollen. Single petaled flowers are the best; semi double and double flowers are hard for them to get to the nectar. And they love herbs. I think it will be our plum or cherry tree that gives them their first fresh food but I could be wrong since I don't know what all is growing on this farm.
