In this episode, Ken Lain, The Mountain Gardener, describes an encounter with a black bumblebee while setting up a garden display featuring hibiscus plants on antique cars. These unique insects, also known as cutter bees, are distinguished by their solid black appearance and their habit of creating perfectly round, dime-shaped holes in the leaves of plants. Despite their "cutting" behavior, cutter bees are docile and gentle pollinators, crucial for the health of flowers and vegetables.
