Collection: Bee & Pollinator Friendly

You probably know that inviting bees to your garden helps to encourage pollination, which benefits all of your plants – and your neighbour’s plants, too. Secretly, I also love bees because they add a bit of entertainment to the garden. The trick to getting bees to visit your plant beds is to add plenty of bee-friendly plants.

Bees are essential in any garden environment because as they pollinate your plants, it creates the rich harvest of fruits, seeds, flowers, and veggies that we all work for.

While it isn’t hard to entice bees to visit, creating a bee-friendly environment takes more than just tossing some plants in the ground. You also want to make sure to avoid using too many chemicals that could harm or kill the bees. Herbicides and pesticides aren’t bee-friendly! Instead, you can use ladybugs, spiders, and praying mantises to keep pests in check.

Let’s take a look at some bee-friendly plants you can put in your garden beds. Keep in mind that many of these have the added bonus of attracting other pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds, as well.
