0In the Garden with Andre Viette - Japanese Beetles - 8/15/26 Hour 3

Japanese beetles are a common garden pest that can quickly damage flowers, vegetables, and ornamental plants by feeding on their leaves and blooms. On In the Garden with Andre Viette, Andre Viette talks about the lack of Japanese beetles this year, noting that the hard, dry ground caused by the drought may have reduced their numbers by making it more difficult for larvae to survive and develop. He discusses how changing weather conditions can affect insect populations and what gardeners can expect in their landscapes.
