Good for him! Although I certainly wish that I could get information about turning your swimming pool into a pond pool2pond out to more people.
I am sure that it cost him a fair penny to fill in that pool with soil. And he has lost the benefits of that water resource in his backyard for native beneficial insects other than just the honey bees. Also bees need a Non-toxic Water Resource in the summer time in order to cool their hives. My guess is that he’s got a lot of trees and flowers and plants but not a lot of water for the critters. But that’s just a guess.
But again I welcome his beginning work at providing bees and other native pollinators and other beneficial insects a safe habitat in his backyard let’s start adding bats and dragonflies and damselflies and Pacific chorus frogs and so many more to the list.
Best to all
Bob
