Does anyone know how the dandelion affects the mites? Most insects do not come near them.This is why most people plant them in and around their gardens.

Pepper: I don't no of any affects dandelions have on mites, but the bees sure do love them.it has saved amany hives in early spring,are you sure your not thinking of marigolds?,I know we plant them around our gardens , mark
Pepper,
You may be on to something there. Wouldn't it be lovely with the marigolds scattered about the bee yard? I was planning on planting some thyme, too.
