The original owners of our house use to purchase ladybugs for their roses as well. Heard they were rather expensive to purchase so I elected to plant companion Nasturtiums and Marigolds.
Thank you for sharing your hive stories DD. Very interesting and hard to believe your hubby's allergic to their stings but suits up and carries on. That's pretty awesome.
