analysis: 5 Beautiful Tips for Creating a Bee-Friendly Garden

Grow plants full of nectar and pollen

Notes:

• When it comes to the plants and flowers that you plant in the garden, you’re going to want to aim for single flower tops rather than hybrid plants.
• Flowers like lilacs or carnations — flowers that have multiple petals or petals on top of petals—produce less nectar and make it harder for bees to access pollen. Instead, opt for single flower tops like daisies or marigolds.

Don’t weed too often

Notes:

• A big no-no, if you want to attract bees and keep them safe, is overdoing it on the landscaping.
• Spring and summer tend to be a time when people want to take care of the lawn, but when you go overboard on the fertilizers, pesticides, and weeding, then you’re lessening the chances of bees coming to your garden.
• When it comes to weeding, things like dandelions and lawn clovers attract and provide additional nectar for the bees.
