Ah yes sounds like Japanese beetles. I had my first experience with them last year. I came home from a week's vacation in mid July to find them eating up my chokeberry shrubs. You can definitely knock them off into a bucket of soapy water as you find them. I had good luck with traps (they are non toxic, just use a pheremone to attract the beetles and then the fall into a bag where they die, while not affecting any other insects.) Some people say these traps just attract more beetles, and maybe they do, but they worked for me. I used this one and this one. I hung them on shepherd's hooks along the property line as far as possible away from my garden. One in front and one in back. Good luck!

This year I learned all about four lined plant bugs. Which are unlike Japanese beetles are native here but they still are pretty destructive! I'm usually all for native insects in the garden, after all the reason I have it is to be food for wildlife. But there were just too many of them, and not enough predators. So in the mornings I'd go find the nymphs and knock them into a bucket of soapy water.

And of course rabbits. Always the rabbits!

I have just installed 100 of these, which I purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XCHPN42/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I printed labels using a Brother label maker - clear labels with black text. They look fantastic and should hold up for many years. I highly recommend this approach.

Sorry I have to plug an amazing book about the soil food web that can put a lot of perspective on how to improve the nutrition cycle efficiency.

It's called "Teaming with Microbes" and is an absolute trove of knowledge.
https://www.amazon.com/Teaming-Microbes-Organic-Gardeners-Revised/dp/1604691131/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=teaming+with+microbes&qid=1573491535&sprefix=teaming+with+mi&sr=8-2

The same author also has one called "Teaming with Nutrients" which I haven't read yet but that I believe is just as good based on a user I was chatting to in the permaculture sub a year or so ago.

Stokes Select makes pretty solid feeders. I put this metal one in my yard last spring: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EG3USE/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (it said "Stokes Select" when I purchased; I'm not sure if Belle Fleur is a branch of SS)

I live on the Gulf of Mexico, and we get pretty brutal summers, complete with humidity and thunderstorms. That feeder looks the same as it did when I first put it in the yard. The birds are quick to wipe it out of seed, so I reckon they like it too.

That is an excellent point. I doubt many people know that honeybees are not native to the US nor that there are so many native bees. That does not change the fact that agriculture is still dependent on them.

This book had very good reviews.

My favorite method is to cover with black plastic sheeting for at least 4 weeks. No chemicals required and the sheeting is reusable.
