I honestly don't know. Butterflies like nectar from flowering plants and almost all flowering plants also attract bees. Maybe if she could put a butterfly garden where she could watch it from the windows while inside, it might work out. But I don't know...she'd have to come outside sometime. I've lived in my place since 1989 with flowering plants and I've never been stung by bees once. Yellowjackets (wasps), have stung me on rare occasion, but only if they have a nest nearby.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
