Bees are an incredibly important part of our ecosystem. As some of the best pollinators, they play a huge role in food production, as they enable crops to reproduce. Sadly, like many other species of wildlife, they are under threat due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and other factors – so it's vital to support them in our gardens where we can.
The easiest way to do this is to incorporate plenty of bee-friendly blooms in our pots and borders, whether that's fragrant lavender, vibrant zinnias, or flowering native plants. Knowing which are less attractive to bees can be useful, too, so you can opt for more beneficial plants for pollinators instead.
