Do you enjoy having a garden with diverse plants that produce
beautiful flowers and perhaps some fruits and vegetables? Do you enjoy
seeing bees, butterflies and hummingbirds visiting your flowers for
nectar rewards? Do you have the feeling that your diverse garden is in
some small way contributing food resources and shelter that these
animals and other small garden creatures require? Have you ever
wondered about doing more to encourage these benign animals?
The UC Berkeley Urban Bee Project has a WONDERFUL website filled with
information from planting tips to attract bees, bee diversity, to
research the university is doing.
Great website, I highly recommend it:
