Did you know that honeybees and bumblebees together pollinate almost 90% of the world’s plant population? Withour their pollination you would have a 1/3 less fruits and vegetables on your table.
Bee-friendly gardens are a great way to help nectar and pollen spread, and keep our world’s beautiful landscapes thriving!
There are many bee-friendly plants
Examples are Mountain Laurels, Hydragea, Coral Bells, and Butterfly Bushes
If you want to start a project ( it is never too late ) there are books on Pollinators. One of my favorites is
National Wildlife Federation: Attracting Birds, Butterflies amd Other Species: Step by Step Instructions by David Mizejewski
2. The Pollinator Victory Garden: Win the War on Pollinator Decline with Ecological Gardening; Attract and Support Bees, Beetles, Butterflies, Bats, and Other Pollinators by Kim Elerman
And finally the basic DO’S OF A GARDEN Pick plants and flowers that provide lots of cover to your bees
Allow vegetables and herbs to flower
Plant at least ten types of plants that attract bees
Provide access to water
Pick colors bees are attracted to, such as greens, blues violets, and yellows
