Last year was the first year we tried to grow a significant amount of food on our high rise terrace.

Got some decent food. So this year doubling the space planted.

Question is last year not a bee in sight. I tapped the back of each flower with a turned on electric toothbrush to simulate bee vibrations to ensure a larger yield.

This summer while in Vermont we visited the wildflower farm in Charlotte. While there we purchased some wildflower seeds that are all natural flowers native to our area that attract bees.

What are the chances a few little buzzer fly up 19 stories?

I am guessing 1 in 1000.
