Just in preparation for when I eventually get to violet bees!
I watered in a garden today where there was a hive full of violet honey but no honey blossom flower in it. I was stalking as the garden owner said that a violet bee was on its way. Someone else watered and spotted a violet bee. I checked in the wildlife guide and it says the violet bee is attracted to a honey blossom flower of violet petals etc.
My question is - will the violet bees come to just a honey pot full of violet honey because that's the only bee that can come to the pot or was it just likely that the garden owner had pulled the honey blossom flower as they assumed correctly that the violet bee was already programmed in on the wild berries?
Many thanks :)
