I know that they're going to go to whatever they prefer, but I also look for plants that are appealing to bees because hey, I have bees. Every year I put a few new perennials in and I was wondering what you all like to put in, if you do.
All great bee plants, keep it up!:thumbsup:Russian Sage, borage, hysop and pineapple sage
white clover, buckwheat, yellow clover , golden rod , i let some of my cole crops flower as well, and of course my fruits , nuts, and veggies but their for me
Good thing they are a fast growing tree, you might just get to see honey from them someday. They can be a great bee tree if the conditions work out right while they are blooming, unfortunately they are very unpredictable year to year. Fortunately for my bees, the black locust bloom has been perfect the last couple seasons and they were able to store up a good bit of delicious honey from it. JohnThis spring planted 200 seedlings of black locust, and they are growing:shhhh:![]()
Got a lot of sage around here if you want it. Sage makes great honey. So does russian olive.Oh, Russian sage! I have that on my shopping list, actually. It's so gorgeous.
