bee gardens
Planted for pollinators
Bee gardens are plantings designed to attract and support bees, featuring flowers that provide nectar and pollen throughout the growing season.
They typically include native wildflowers, herbs, and flowering shrubs chosen for their appeal to pollinators: We converted the back lawn into a bee garden with lavender and coneflowers.
The term reflects growing concern about declining bee populations and their role in food production.
