What do your bees love?

Last week was National Don’t Step On A Bee Day. Now, while I trust nobody ever intentionally steps on bees, and don’t quite see the need to make every day a National something or other, it’s hard not to applaud the sentiment. Bees remain in danger, and it’s up to us as gardeners to lead the way and do whatever we can for them. This year, thankfully, I think I’ve noticed more than usual in the garden, although the introduction of salvia ‘Hot Lips’ might have something to do with that – they love it! Let me know your favourite bee-friendly plants at the usual address. Meanwhile, enjoy a great

week in the garden!
