I have been planting my garden up with Bee friendly plants for some time, a lot are due to flower in the next few months, but I already have quite a lot in flower now.
I gave up a big section of my lawn from mowing and the White Clover has been covered in little bumbles for ages.
I have also sown and grown Calendula for the Bees.
I have got plenty of Scabious species on the go...
All this for the Bees you see.... and then... I sowed Phacelia all over my Veg patch..
Lots of it...
Are you still with me.....?
Then I sowed lots of Borage... for the Bee's...
Finally I grew them Sea Holly..... They liked that...
So, I did this all for the Bees, they came in their droves and feasted on my flowers...
So what did they do in return for me..?
Are you ready....?
They Pollinated My Strawberries.!!!!
Lots.!!!
Get a load of these babies....
And this lot....i'm gonna need a bigger bowl.!
Woohoo.!
Thanks Bee's. Together we make a great team!

Hi Juno
I thought I would say how beautiful your flowers are before the thread gets too long
Anyway the fruit is a grerat addition too. {smile}
Look forward to seeing more of your pictures, and of course your bees have done a good job too.

Sorry Blackbird, what do you mean by the "take overy thingy"
Are we not allowed to post appropriate Pictures in response to a subject? if this is the case let me know and I wont do it again :)
Hi Borderlass,
Take no notice. Of course you can post appropriate photos and make appropriate comments as you deem fit. Those who think otherwise should come out and say so, and not go back and delete the offending words.
Post away.
