Bee-Friendly Plants that are Bee-Loved

by Nichole, Magical Marketing Millenial

Bees are in trouble! The threats of pesticides, herbicides, and other environmental

man-made hazards are drastically reducing their population. Without bees - we

have a food crisis. Here are some plants you can add to your yard that can give

them a much needed helping hand:

Lavender

White Clover

Dandelion

Echinacea

New England Aster

Blackberries

Raspberries

Catmint

Bee Balm

Chives

Thyme

Mint

Oregano

Sage

Rosemary

Lemon Balm

Basil

Hostas

Hyacinths

Snapdragons

Cosmos

Marigolds

Pansies

Geraniums

Other ways to help: use natural weed/pest controls (pouring boiling water on weeds is great!), create a water bath to keep bees hydrated, build homes for native bees, create awareness, educate local families and friends, or adopt a hive!  Our friends over at Host Defense have done some amazing research with bee life expectancy and medicinal mushrooms.  Search “Paul Stamets Save the Bees” for more information.
