Maybe you're very aware, so this helpful information is for others needing to know how to increase our pollinator numbers, about pollen and nectar, and the plants attracting and providing bees and pollinators what they need. Thank you for sharing this information.

Peace, Love, Planet,

Sep 6, 2022, By having several plant species flowering at once, and a sequence of plants flowering through spring, summer, and fall, you can support a range of bee species that fly at different times of the season. Plant where bees will visit. Bees favor sunny spots over shade and need some shelter from strong winds. Choosing the Right Flowers

The following plants are both lovely and offer a food source for bees. 01 of 25 Anise Hyssop (Agastache Foeniculum) Rachel Husband/Getty Images Not only is anise hyssop rich in nectar, but it also blooms for weeks and keeps several species of bees busy feeding. The honey from bees that forage on anise hyssop is very sweet. 02 of 25 Aster (Aster)
Apr 19, 2022 Spring bee plants fill a special need. Hibernating insects, such as many native bees will be awakening and hungry. Honey bee colonies do not hibernate but they too are anxious to gather food and rebuild their population. Berries (various types - blueberry, blackberries etc) Bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta)
