Bee-Friendly Gardens
- Plant a lot of flowers – a bee can visit thousands a day
- Plant flowers that bloom at different times in a year
- Bees like blue and purple flowers
- Include flowering trees – one big tree is like a meadow for bees
- Let parts of your lawn grow long – bees love dandelions
- Avoid using pesticides – especially near flowers
- Put out water for bees – use shallow containers
