Garden newbie
This is my first year in a new home,my garden is looking better than ever! However I have not seen one bee anywhere! My question is, what do I have to hand pollinate? I am growing tomatoes,cucumbers,3 varieties off squash,and 7 varieties of peppers.

you might consider planting some beneficial around such as borage or beneficials around to attract some bees you can shake the tomato plants to help i the self ollinating process the squash and cucumber have seperate male and female flowers so you would eed to hand pollinate if the bees dont find them
