Bees are essential in any garden because they move from flower to flower collecting pollen. As a result, they pollinate the plants in our garden. Consequently, you want to have flowers in your garden that attract bees. In other words, you want to create a garden that is bee-friendly. But what flowers attract bees? Read on!
Bees are attracted to yellow, white, blue and purple flowers. Plants like Lavender, Alyssum, Rosemary, Sage, Sunflowers, Thyme Borage, Gazania, Proteas, Salvia and Felicia are all excellent choices to attract bees.
Bees play a vital role in our gardens. But due to certain factors, their numbers are dwindling. Some of these include:
- Human activities
- Massive changes in how land is used
- The use of pesticides with crops
- The loss of habitat
- Modern farming methods
- Climate change
As a result, it’s important we all do our part and make our gardens bee-friendly with plants that attract them.
In addition, if you grow your own vegetables then you definitely need to have bees in your garden for pollinating. Growing your own organic vegetables is incredibly rewarding and good for your health. However, it can become costly to water your vegetable garden with council water.
As a result, it’s a wise idea to consider using an alternative water source. A borehole comes with many excellent benefits.
