Bee Friendly Garden

Bee friendly garden
Incorporate Native Plants Native plants are natural food sources for bees, and especially important for native species. So, a sure way to attract them to your garden is to plant flowers that are native to your area. Many garden centers make this really easy for us by grouping native plants together for easy picking.
How do you create a bee-friendly habitat?
One of the easiest ways to create a “bee hotel” with minimal effort and maintenance is simply to bundle cuts of bamboo or other hollow or pithy stems that are closed at one end (bees will not lay eggs in cavities open at both sides) and hang them in a sheltered location.
What can I plant instead of grass for bees?
Research at the University of Minnesota has found that white clover, self-heal and creeping thyme work the best in a bee lawn. Seed for these plants can be easily found, especially within pre-existing bee lawn mixes.
