Gardeners are some of the best people for helping bee populations worldwide. It’s rare that I meet another gardener who keeps bees so I wanted to share some reasons why you should.

There are also 25,000 species of bees throughout the world, so it’s not just about honey bees. In the USA there are 4000 species alone! They include carpenter bees, mason bees, solitary bees, leaf miner bees, and our favorite fuzzy one, the bumblebee (of which there are dozens of species).

Creating habitat, shelter, and growing pollinator-friendly plants and flowers is one of the best ways to help. Some of these bees you might never see and some you might not recognize as a bee. All are important for our gardens and the environment as a whole.

One thing that gardeners can do better than others is to grow pollinating plants that flower throughout the year. Flowers for spring, late spring, summer, autumn, and even winter. Here’s a list of 50+ plants and flowers that you can grow for a bee-friendly garden: https://lovelygreens.com/planting-honey-bee-friendly-garden/

Question for you: Can you think of any more ways that gardeners can help bees? Leave your idea as a comment below.
