Honey and the Bee
The District Domestic blog has a good article about common sense things a person can do to help bees. Since we’re still unsure why they’re dying off in such huge numbers every little bit helps. Here are just a few tidbits of the advice.
- Plant native species, which bees love - for example: mint, daisies, strawberries, raspberries, lavender, salvia, asters, sunflowers and verbena.
- Choose plants that flower at different stages in the growing season to provide a constant supply of food for the bees.
