#UK - #BeeFriendly plants for every season

"Bees and pollinators need 3 things to thrive – food, shelter and water. With some planning around the seasons, we can help our vital pollinators by growing flowers from spring to winter, and not just when the sun shines.

Use our handy guide to pollinator-friendly plants – including trees, veg, herbs and flowers – to offer a valuable source of nectar and pollen through the year.

Experiment with different shaped flowers – the tongues of bees, hover flies, moths and other pollinators vary in size – see what grows well in your garden."

You can rely on the #HRSChelsea Flower Show to inspire creativity and joy. It’s brimming with the celebration of biodiversity and the protection of natural spaces (even though range rover being a m sponsor is a bit odd). Biodiversity is in crisis, but companies and gardeners have huge power to foster awareness and help – even just by growing a few choice plants and eating/promoting pant based food🌱

My #BeeFriendly pots need weeding. 😟

We had our lunch near the playing fields.

I *think* the local high school has the girls playing #Vigaro!

I haven’t seen that since my high school days at #Coorparoo!

I used to mow down dandelions at first sight but not anymore!

Before you fire up the lawnmower, remember that dandelions are one of the very first abundant sources of #nectar and #pollen for hungry bees waking up from winter.

I am highly allergic to bees so I try to avoid them. This little guy seemed completely uninterested in me so I snapped a quick pic with my cell. Imagine my surprise to see "pollen pants"! Bright orange pollen packed onto its legs. That is crucial food being carried back to support the hive.

Let them bloom! 💛 #SaveTheBees #Bees #NaturePhotography #Weeds #Dandelion #Appalachia #AndroidPhoto

I have 1 large pot that I just #plant #seeds in & see what, if anything, comes up.

In amongst some #beefriendly plants a few more #CherokeePurple #tomatoes have started appearing.

There should be LOTS of red #nasturtiums in there too - but no sign of them so far. ☹️
