Plants enjoyed by Bees
A group of plants used by bees, moths and butterflies when out foraging. Bumble bees are important pollinators as well as honey bees and love to feed on the following plants. Bees are often out and abourt early in the year and need to feed up quickly after a long cold winter so early flowering plants help them to build up their strength.Remember that double flowers are not any good for bees or butterflies.
