At last a Bee
Posted on
The Sunday Gardener is not alone in having spotted for the first time this year this year, the first Bee. Large and gently buzzing along a solitary bee spotted in the garden this week. The late spring means there are few plants in flower to provide nectar but the Bees foraged happily among the Hellebores and Crocus. Conscious of the decline in bee numbers selecting plants identified as attractive to bees seems more important than ever, Nepeta are simply cottage plants but the bees go wild for them (as do cats) and many herbs are bee friendly, Chives, Oregano, Thymes.
