Putting up a little Bee ‘n’ B

The bees might be hibernating at the moment, but it won’t be long until they’ll be looking for food and places to stay. It’s time to get the garden bee-friendly.

Being Bee Friendly

Bees play a crucial role in the garden and also in the food production industry. Crocuses make the perfect early food for them.

I've nurtered this #lupin (1 of 3) for about 3 years now, and finally it is rewarding me with a spike of #flowers. The bees will love it. . . . . . #gardening #growityourself #homegrown #flower #flowerstagram #gardener #garden #red #pink

Happy #bee 🐝 . . . . #gardening #pink #roses #rose #petals #garden #gardener #flowers #flower #nature #bees #pollen

And of course, the #foxgloves are beginning to open their #bell shaped #flowers. The #bees will soon be climbing in there for pollen. . . . . #growityourself #homegrown #flowers #digitalis #beefriendly #gardening #gardener #garden

Photos don't do these #giant #pink #coral #poppies justice. I grew this from seed a few years ago, and now it is loaded with buds and returns every year. It is #beautiful with its #flowers that the #bees love to visit. Each #flower is about the same size as my open hand. It's joined here by the blue flowers of the #borage which I also grew from seed a while back and the bees love this too. No wonder I have a bees nest in my loft at the moment (oops). . . . . #growityourself #gardening #gardener #garden #pretty #homegrown #poppy

I grew this beautiful #pink #poppy from seed a couple of years ago, and this year its full of buds. . . . #pretty #garden #gardening #gardener #homegrown #flowers #growityourself

Planted my #borlotti #beans outside against the canes 2 days ago, and they're already nearly at the top and clinging on 🙄😱 . . #climbingbeans #gardening #growyourownfood #growityourself #digforvictory #veggies #veg #homegrown #garden #pulses #wigwam
