White and red clovers are traditional favorites for bees, producing honey that’s both abundant and flavorful.
Sage (Salvia spp.) :
Salvias are highly attractive to bees, offering nectar-rich flowers that contribute to aromatic and robust honey varieties.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) :
Often dismissed as a weed, dandelions are crucial early bloomers, providing essential nectar and pollen for bees emerging from winter.
Aster (Aster spp.) :
Blooming in late summer to fall, asters help sustain bee populations as other flowers fade, ensuring continued honey production into the cooler months.
Linden Tree (Tilia spp.) :
Linden trees produce fragrant, nectar-rich flowers that bees adore, resulting in a pale, delicately flavored honey highly prized in many regions.
Tips for a Bee-Friendly Garden :
Diverse Bloom Times: Plant a variety of flowers that bloom at different times to provide continuous nectar sources from spring through fall.
Avoid Pesticides: Refrain from using pesticides, especially during blooming periods, as they can harm bees and other pollinators.
