Try planting a few Zinnia's in your garden. They will attract tons of Skippers during daylight and Sphinx and Tomato hornworm moths which will pollenate all of your plants during the dusk/nighttime hours. I noticed a decreased in bees a few years ago so I tried this approach and it worked. Good luck.

my squash are not getting pollinated. I began to look around my clover in the yard and not one bee was in it......have we killed off all the bees?

and Tomato hornworm moths



I see a potential problem here...


I'd rather gently shake the plant, or even go the small paintbrush route that heirloom purists use than have to have hornworm moths polinate my tomatoes.
