Bees need shelter in their busy flight from flower to flower
to deposit their pollen
to make nectar and feed
their queen bee. The challenges they face are many: pesticides, parasites and humanity’s threat. We plant milkweed and bee balm to offer them help, but shelter ~ Where is it? On my stroll through a garden, a cute little house stood barely tall, tiny holes in its face and midst the grasses and flowers. The
Native Prairie Garden gardeners had added a bee nest
with the bee balm, lavender, milkweed and such.
“Wherever there are bees, there are flowers, and wherever
there are flowers there is new life and hope.”
