The Bee-Friendly Garden: Design an Abundant, Flower-Filled Yard that Nurtures Bees and Supports Biodiversity

For every gardener who cares about the planet, this guide to designing a bee garden helpsÂ you create a stunningly colorful, vibrant, healthy habitat that attracts both honeybees and native bees.

In The Bee-Friendly Garden, award-winning garden designer Kate Frey and bee expert Gretchen LeBuhn provide everything you need to know to create a dazzling garden that helps both the threatened honeybee and our own native bees. No matter how small or large your space, and regardless of whether you live in the city, suburbs, or country, just a few simple changes to your garden can fight the effects of colony collapse disorder and the worldwide decline in bee population that threatens our global food chain.Â There are many personal benefits of having a bee garden as well! Bee gardens:

Â· contain a gorgeous variety of flowers
Â· bloom continuously throughout the seasons
Â· are organic, pesticide-free, and ecologically sustainable
Â· develop healthy and fertile soil
Â· attract birds, butterflies, and other beneficial insects
Â· increase the quantity of your fruit and vegetable harvest
Â· improve the quality, flavor, and size of your produce

Illustrated with spectacular full-color photos, The Bee-Friendly Garden debunks myths about bees, explains seasonal flower progression, and provides detailed instructions for nest boxes and water features. From â‚¬Å“super bloomingâ‚¬Â flowers to regional plant lists and plants to avoid, The Bee-Friendly Garden is an essential tool for every gardener who cares about the planet and wants to make their yard a welcoming habitat for natureâ‚¬s most productive pollinator.
