....Alkali and leaf cutting bees will. Specifically, pollinate alfalfa. A fascinating and very complete and illustrative film showing how these wild solitary bees live and how they can be "cultivated" in the vicinity of alfalfa and probably some other crops. It even shows in detail their enemies and how they parasitize these bees. No detail is left out. Wow! I really learned something here. This is a 10 star film.
