This year, our bee balm (Monarda) hasn’t attracted a single ruby-throated hummingbird, as far as I’ve seen. The female hummers usually swarm our bee balm blossoms at this time of year, since the males have abandoned them.
Perhaps it’s because we recently divided the plants or maybe because we’ve been experiencing drought conditions and haven’t watered enough. Anyone else having the same problem? (Archive mages of females taken in Brooklin, Maine.)
