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 think this was a great idea and it must be catching. About eight weeks ago I gave over one side of my garden to wide flowers. Due to not knowing fully what I was doing and digging etc I started with 1/3 of the side. The flowers and now started to come out. I have to admit not as good as I hoped, but it's a start.
Great pictures by the way...
