Question I just bought one of these and plan on planting it in my backyard. While doing
research i stumble by someone who said that they attract bees. I need to
know if this is true as my sister is allergic to bees.
If this is he case, i will be returning it. I am not sure you could answer this
today as i was planning on planting it today.
Thank you in advance for your quick response.

Answer Hi Divina, yes it will attract bees, but only when it is in bloom, which lasts about a month, and then they are gone; but this is necessary for pollination. I used to keep Honey Bees, and they are not anything like wasps or yellow jackets, very, very, gentle; the only way you can get a Honey Bee to sting you, is if you actually grab it and squeeze her (yes they are female!)...I used to demonstrate how gentle they were, by letting them crawl on my hand from a blossom, and then gently putting them back on the blossom.
