How to Help Bees by Planting Bee-Friendly Flowers

Top Ten Flowers to Attract Honey Bees:

Woodland, hedgerows, meadows, and verges have been disappearing at an alarming rate and parts of the countryside are now green deserts with very few wild flowers so bees need your help! You can help the bees, all the bees, honey bees, bumblebees, and solitary bees, by planting more flowers for them to feed on. It doesn't matter if your garden is a balcony, allotment, window box, pots and tubs or a swathe of green open space; with a bit of thought pollinators can benefit from a banquet of pollen and nectar right throughout the year. Choose plants with single, open flowers for easy access to the pollen and nectar.
