How to attract bees?
I noticed that I had cucumber Beatles eating my plants alive, till there was nothing left. I panicked and put 7dust on all my cucumber, squash, and both watermelons and cantaloupe. Now I’m scared the bees will never come and I just feel awful for using it. How long till the dust settles and disappear? Will the bees ever come back after using?

It will be okay. The "dust" should settle in a few days and to encourage the pollinators I suggest you pick a vase of lavender or buy some lavender plants to place nearby. The lavender scent will lure the bees back. They will forgive you. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
