It's widely accepted that preserving bees and other insects is crucial for ecological reasons. So let's indulge ourselves by creating colorful and fragrant gardens with honey-producing plants and flowers!
How to Create a Honey Garden
Simply by growing plants and flowers that attract them, a task made easier by suitable seed mixes that can be purchased. For flowers, we combine poppies, bellflowers, daisies with lavender, clover, rosemary, etc.
These species have attractive colors—blue, purple, white, yellow—as well as very distinctive olfactory qualities. The open, short-tube flowers are favored by bees, and let's not forget that butterflies are also effective pollinators.
Besides making honey…
Yes, their honey delights us, but the role of bees, butterflies, and other insects is much broader! 75% of food crops depend on pollination. However, without pollination, many vegetables, fruits, and nuts would not be able to reproduce effectively. Production would drop... and prices would rise.
In addition, bees have a role of environmental sentinels because they are very sensitive to pesticides.
