Does Wisteria Attract an Abundance of Bees?

Question

I want to start growing and training wisteria on my pergola. I am very allergic to bee stings. We will be having an eating area there. I am concerned about how much of a pest they would be.

Answer 1

There will be a few, but I have never seen very many on wisteria. Wisteria is only in bloom for a few weeks in the spring, so that would be the only time bees would be near.

Answer 2

I’m in south of france and large wisteria thousands of flowers. I also have thousands of bees when in flower they are full time and sound like lift off literally. Fantastic
