Bees have just landed on the endangered animals list and if that doesn't scare you then I don't know what will. What a lot of people don't know is that bees are very vital to our ecosystem and without them well we wouldn't survive. A lot of fruit and vegetables are pollinated by honey bees, such as broccoli and squash, apples, etc. Pollination is not just important for the food we eat directly, it's vital for the foraging crops, such as field beans and clover, used to feed the livestock we depend on for meat. So here are a few plants that you can have in your garden that would be extremely beneficial for bees.
HOLLYHOCKS
FOXGLOVES
LAVENDER
HYACINTH
Hope this post helps you with your planting needs and remember if you see a bee just leave it be.
till next time!
