I am wondering about my two dill plants. I bought them from Lowes because it was so late in the season and I really wanted some dill. I don't believe I've seen any flying insects near the flowers.

I haven't read the article yet but am forming lots of questions about the details of how this works. Do the bees and butterflies just stay off these flowers grown with this substance?

Have a red coreopsis I bought at a nursery, a large one but local, and I have no idea if they grew out the plant or bought a lot of them from a supplier, but there were swarms of little bees all over it at first, not honeybees but some smaller bee (maybe a wasp, didn'tget that close a look.)
