So my wife and I placed some lavender and other pollinators at the mailbox at our house. Fortunately it has grown well and now when I grab the mail every day there has to be around 20 bumble bees going around doing their thing. Itβs cool to see. We have a garden but also try and plant pollinators and other types of plants too just to try and recreate a little bit of an ecosystem.

I've read that people that deliver mail don't appreciate the bees.

Yea maybe. The ones that are at our mailbox don't really bother anyone - they're just grabbing pollen. I grab my mail from the box everyday. Though one thing I didn't think about was someone potentially allergic to bees, but I'm not willing to accommodate everyone.
In the case of the mail I'd rather they didn't deliver anything anyway. It's just spam. Anyway...
