Butterflies are pollenatars too

I've gotten a few comments about the new "bee garden" on 10 / 13 and the concern about being stung by a bee. I can tell you that the bees are no more interested in stinging you, as you are interested in being stung. I regularly walk in the flower bed to check on the plants and get within 12 inches of the bees collecting nectar from the flowers....on all of the flower beds around the Club, not just the new one. During a round of play there is really no more risk involved than there was before. 

The Operation Pollinator signs are to bring awareness to secondary benefits of what the Club does. The beds are beautiful, but they are also playing an important role in the environment. Remember, butterflies are also pollenatars and they love the same nectar as the bees.
