Plant for the year

-

Bee species fly at different times of the year, and need a constant food source. A lavender garden will be humming with bumblebees in June and July, but solitary bees that fly in cold weather are left in need. The trick is variety to provide nectar and pollen all-year round. Hellebores, cyclamen and crocuses are great in the early months; African daisies and heleniums are ideal in autumn. Cherry trees, pussy willow and mahonia bushes are also good early food sources.
