Looks like a cool business. I work for a non-profit that deals primarily in native local eco-type plants so I definitely dig the concept. Love the bee box designs too.
Anyway, some questions. Sorry if they seem stupid -- not really an insect guy.
I've read about the risk that neonicitinoids pose towards honeybees. Do they pose a similar threat to native bees?
I've heard form at least one entomologist that the european honeybee is probably depressing wild bee populations. Would widespread use of native bees alleviate some of that pressure?
