We simply wouldn't be able to survive without bees!
As well as boosting our mood when we see them in our woods and gardens,
they're crucial to our physical health and the health of the wider
environment.
Bees are particularly attracted to
bee balm, echinacea, snap dragon, and hostas, as well as a number of other wildflowers like
California poppies and evening primrose.
It’s best to avoid eucalyptus, ferns, and lemongrass, and skip toxic
pesticides and herbicides that can be harmful to bees. Instead, choose
bee-friendly organic fertilizers.
