Thank you so much for this. Your presentation is so thorough and really gives a lot of help on organizing a garden . . . I've just discovered the Agastache and it is THE favorite of bumblebees--and the specialist bees and butterflies love it as well. I'm having a terrible time keeping my milkweeds alive, although it's a brand-new garden, so I'll just wait and see.

Changing planting density can change the predetation levels, but they did also mention nets. Insects can get through bird nets if that's something you want to try. You might want to limit that to one or two clusters of plants or trees and not the whole garden, but it gets around the issue of bringing them indoors.
