You plan carefully where each seed and plant will go. Then you water, weed and prune to make sure your garden thrives. But have you ever thought of attracting insects for the betterment of your flowers?
Bees are one of the most efficient pollinating insects around. Attracting them to your garden can help your flowers flourish and your plants prosper.
Having a place for them to breed, such as this bee-box project, is a great start. Another good idea is to use plants that will attract and promote pollination. Some plants that bees love are:
• dogwood
• black-eyed Susan
• sunflower
• hyssop
• wild geranium
Once you have a place for bees to breed and flowers they are attracted to, be sure to avoid presticides to keep your gardenÂ’s ecosystem healthy.
