My curiosity was rewarded today! Last November I left some Sedum stems as an experiment to see if any insects would overwinter inside- and it worked!
From what I learned online, these are Small Carpenter Bees (Ceratina sp.), generalist pollinators that are important insects to support in our gardens. They nest and overwinter inside stems such as raspberry canes … and our proof - Sedum stems too!
🐝💛So happy to share back on the outcome of my little experiment, and hopefully inspire more ecological gardeners and gardens… for the wellbeing of people, and nature 🌱🌼
