I bought my first sundew!

what can a sundew eat any way?
 
would a bee stick to a sundew?
 
Depending on the size of the bee and the plant, yes. More likely it will catch flies and gnats and other small annoying bugs.

Also, as a side note, you can edit your previous posts instead of double posting like your first two posts.

I tried to put a bee in my D. capensis the bee is too hefty for the flimsy leaves to handle even when i weakened it.

I prefer to not feed my sundew. It looks more beautiful when the leaves stays put and dewy. It usually catches fruitflies,

gnats and midges on its own anyway.
 
what r the humity requirment of a Drosera capensis
 
whatever is natural. D. capensis is absolutly bombproof and can survive a nuclear holocaust!!! haha itll be fine anywhere as long as it gets good lighting.

A bee is more the speed of a pitcher plant and VFT. A sundew wouldn't be able to hold one. D. capensis can grow in a variety of settings. Mine are currently outside, on the patio, but I prefer to keep them at a window sill, open tray:

Oh yah. I'd recommend it just so they're not disturbed again real soon to minimize stress. The D. spatulata though is bare root...
