BEES: Which flowers for each month/season
Is there a suitable set of flowers for each month/season, early spring to late autumn, which could be planted/grown in order to keep bees buzzing for as long as possible ? or Which flowers should I have already flowering during early spring so that the bees can get their own act up&running as early as possible ? And then which flowers do bees like that are late flowering so that bees have something to work on in late autumn ? |

Crocus had a huge list of bee friendly plants on their site. --http://www.Voucherfreebies.co.ukhttp://www.holidayunder100.co.uk Yes, but don't go thinking that will make much/any difference to your honey crops - the scale is way too small . Nonetheless, it's nice to see the bees working on something you've planted. Rod |
