I need bees... the squash is not going to make if they dont find my garden...

First year out on our place, we put in a garden ... bees were scarce, along with the other pollinators & hummingbirds ... we used the Q-tip ploy & tho tedious did the trick ... later that year, i sectioned off an area with vegetative wind break & evergreen trees for a bee keeper to overwinter his hives, and with our year 'round gardening we haven't had to Q-tip pollinate again.
