Problem: Article: By planting a wide variety of plants that don't all bloom at the same time, the bees will have a constant source of pollen. You could consider planting things like asters, poppies, black-eyed Susans, or alyssum. Asters will bloom in the late summer and early fall, and poppies bloom in the late spring and early summer. Black-eyed Susans peak during the summer, while alyssum is best for the fall. Consider growing hyacinth in the spring, bee balm in the summer, and zinnias in the fall. Include native species when deciding which plants to growask a local nursery or go online to find out which plants are natives in your area. These flowers only have 1 ring of petals, making it much easier for the mason bees to get to the pollen. Deeper flowers with lots of rings of petals make it difficult for the bees to reach the pollen. Bees like flowers such as alyssum, wildflowers, or Madrid Purple lavender. Lilacs are an example of flowers that have multiple rings of petals, providing more difficulty for the bees. If you only plant a couple flowers to attract the mason bees, you're less likely to satisfy their curiosity and food needs. Plant large groups of 1 type of flower, or many types, together so that the bees are able to easily see and smell the flowers, while also giving them lots of pollen options. A patch of 12-20 flowers of one species is a good size. Plant as many patches as you'd like, making sure that each type of flower has enough room to grow and thrive. While bees love lots of types of colorful plants, they're attracted to these colors, along with white, the most. Choose bright blues, purples, and yellows to plant in your garden, if possible. Lavender, crocus, and salvia are perfect purple flowers. Sunflowers and black-eyed Susans are great yellow flowers. Butterfly bush, catmint, and common heliotrope are options for blue flowers. Pear blossoms and daisies are white flowers that attract mason bees. It's best to avoid using pesticides on your garden in general, but this is especially important if you're trying to attract bees that will be eating the pollen. If you have to use pesticides, use them when there aren't open blossoms, which is when the bees will be pollinating.
Summary: Include plants that bloom at different times throughout the year. Opt for composite flowers with open petals. Create large sections of flowers to encourage foraging. Grow blue, purple, and yellow flowers to attract the bees. Avoid using pesticides on your flowers.

Problem: Article: If the bully is sharing inappropriate content, is endlessly harassing you, or is breaking any laws, make sure to document these things. Take screenshots or photos of the bullying comments to use as evidence. That way, you'll be ready with evidence if you want to go to the internet service provider, school administration, or police. Take a photo of the content and make sure it clearly shows the name of the person posting. You may also want to take a photo of their profile to show that you are recording their identity and not somebody else by the same name. The police should be involved if you have received physical threats, racial taunts, or another form of major harassment or insult. Contact law enforcement immediately if someone posted photos or videos of you being mistreated, demeaned, or showing nudity. If someone posted nude photos or videos of you and you are under 18, this is a very serious offense and the person could get into major legal problems. Report the content right away and do not take a screenshot as this could be considered spreading child pornography. Consider going to see a guidance counselor for help at your school or university. Ask them about the school policy regarding bullying and harassment. If it includes bullying that happens on the internet, you may be able to get the school involved in discipline. Find out what help and resources are available to you and how you can get the bullying to stop.
Summary: Document evidence of bullying. Involve law enforcement. Get your school involved.

Problem: Article: Consider why you want a purebred dog: are you looking for a show dog? A protection animal? A family pet? Keep in mind how much room your dog will have, how much exercise you plan on providing daily, and basic grooming needs. Think about how much a particular breed might drool or shed, and how these might factor into your decision. If you're not into drool, avoid breeds like Bulldogs or St. Bernards. If shedding is a factor, avoid double-coated dogs like Siberian Huskies or Malamutes. Learn how a typical dog of your chosen breed behaves and whether that is a fit for your lifestyle and family. For instance, if you have kids, make sure your prospective breed is good with children, like Labrador Retrievers or Boxers. If you want a lapdog, think about breeds like Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, or King Charles Spaniels. Check out a bookstore for guidebooks that list breed characteristics and temperaments. For detailed information about American Kennel Club (AKC) registered breeds, search their website: https://www.akc.org. AKC breeds are types of dogs recognized in the United States. You can also search other kennel clubs, such as Westminster: http://www.westminsterkennelclub.org/ If you're interested in a particular breed, join its breed club. Look on the AKC website to find a local breed club, or search online to find the parent club. Ask friends if they know of anyone with a dog of the breed you're interested in, and make arrangements to visit them, particularly if you have never seen that breed in person. Before settling on a particular breed, try fostering. You don't need to foster purebred dogs to get an idea for the kind of dog best suits your lifestyle. Fostering can give you a more concrete idea of the size and temperament that you and your family can handle. If you unsure about which kind of dog you'd like, varying the dogs you foster can help you narrow your selection. Get in touch with a local animal shelter and ask them about available programs and more information about how you can started.
Summary: Find a breed that is compatible with your lifestyle. Look at a breed guidebook. Get information from your prospective breed's club. Consider fostering to see if a breed or size of dog suits you.
