Planting one flower in July attracts bees to your garden.

Bees are remarkable insects, known for producing honey and playing a crucial role in pollinating various crops and wildflowers. The UK is home to over 230 wild bee species, but their populations have declined by approximately one-third over the past three decades.

To help combat this decline, homeowners are encouraged to plant specific flowers and plants that attract bees, creating a vital refuge for pollinators such as bumblebees, honeybees, wasps, drone flies, ladybirds, and beetles. Additionally, gardens can provide essential resources and shelter for birds and other wildlife, including hedgehogs.
