Hi. We are starting three hives this year. We have lot of undeveloped/in process garden and land area we are working. And now that we are very interested in bees everything we do landscaping wise is going to be focused for bee happiness.
This project we currently have a question on (pictures below) is unfinished from last year. As you can see there are two open areas approx 4ft x 7ft each. It is on the north side of the garage and gets some sun in the morning and evening but is mostly shade. We live in zone 4 and deer can be an issue.
I was thinking on bleeding hearts in the the corners of the boxes closest to the garage and towards the center. Shrubs or perenials...what ever would grow well and help our bees. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
Fred
