Bee Friendly Gardening

Planting bee-friendly plants in your garden offers numerous benefits, not just for bees but for your garden ecosystem and the environment as a whole.

Pollination

Bees are essential pollinators for many fruits, vegetables, and flowers. By attracting bees to your garden, you can significantly increase the yield and quality of your crops. This is especially important for home gardeners and farmers.

We are proud sponsors and a PARTNER member of the Bee Friendly Farming (BFF) initiative. This initiative provides guidelines for farmers and gardeners to promote pollinator health on their lands. BFF sets standards for sustainable land management on important concepts like planting pollinator food resources, providing nesting habitat, and incorporating integrated pest management.

Planting Guides and Resources

When selecting bee-friendly plants for your garden, consider choosing a variety of species that bloom at different times of the year to provide a continuous source of nectar and pollen for bees throughout the seasons.

Additionally, avoid the use of pesticides and herbicides to further support bee health and overall biodiversity.
