Help The Bees

Howdy y'all, here are just a few flowers/herbs that help bees. By helping bees I mean bees are particularly attracted to them, and carry pollen from these plants to others to help them flourish. Lilacs Lavender Sage Wisteria (Asian breeds can be invasive) Cosmos Sunflowers Poppy Honeysuckle Marigold Crocus (not good in warmer weather) Blacked Susan Clematis Snapdragons Blue bells All the above flowers/herbs require full sun light. Do your research to make sure you care for them properly. I know I said a few and it seems like a lot but it's really just a little compared to it all. Another thing that you can do is create a bee bath. A basin of shallow water with sticks or rocks that bees can stand on to drink. Together we can save the bees

KEEP THE BAN ON BEE-KILLING PESTICIDES

Bees pollinate three quarters of the world’s crops - apples, strawberries, onions, carrots and many many more of our fruit and veg. We wouldn’t last long without them. A world without bee's couldn't sustain 7 billion people.... Bees are critical pollinators, they pollinate 70 of the around 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. Honey bees are responsible for $30 billion a year in crops!!! But the pesticides, called neonicotinoids, are lethal - and they scramble their memories, and damage their navigation leaving them lost and confused.
