Gardening for us and the bees

If you have a garden then you will choose plants that you like the look of, the scent or style it may bring to your overall theme.  Add another dimension to that, the value to bees.  With nectar and pollen being so important to the strength of the honey bee colony, your garden plants can make all the difference.  If you choose to plant those that are particularly good at providing food for bees then you will be repaid by lots of visitors and the satisfaction that you are helping to keep colonies alive.

We are building a list of plants that are especially good for bees.  It will evolve with time, if you know of others then please let us know and we will add it to the list.
