Allotments 4 All

im trying to attract more bees into the garden, and also to help with pollination.

Im looking for small to medium sized shrubs, particularly interested in white cluster flowering shrubs.  Can anyone recommend anything ? Prices would be useful.  Thought about viburnums, but dont really know enough to know what to choose  ;)

Bees and bumbles can only see blue I believe!!

borage, hyssop, lavander, mallow, mints, nepeta, sage, thymes  :D ;) 8)

also Morning Glory up the bean trellis helps  ;) :D ;D

They see the other colours, but not as we know it! Why are all the early flowers yellow?
I really appreciate that quote Flower Lady!

perhaps to wake us all up from the doldrums of the winter months  ::)

Honeybees are specialists; they only visit a single type of flower at one time. Other bees are generalists though, and visit whatever they come across. I found a page on bee plants here http://www.stratford-upon-avon.freeserve.co.uk/PENotes/BeePlants.htm .
