One Small Thing You Can Do To Help Bees!

/

Plant a pollinator patch! Even a small garden can become a powerful food source for bees

May is the perfect time to plant bee-friendly flowers and herbs. Pollinators rely on consistent food sources throughout spring and summer, and gardens filled with nectar-rich plants can make a major difference.

Some easy bee favorites include:

  • Lavender

  • Bee balm

  • Coneflowers

  • Basil

  • Thyme

  • Sunflowers

  • Wildflowers native to your area

Try planting in clusters so bees can forage more efficiently, and skip pesticides whenever possible. Even a few pots on a porch or patio can help support local pollinator populations.

Healthy gardens create healthy communities, and happier bees!
