One of the signs of your garden being happy and healthy is the sight of some bees buzzing around…

But sadly. modern farming methods are reducing the population of bees around the world. So we thought it was time to give nature a helping hand!

Protect Bees for a Happy Garden

If you garden and care for the bees, you need to know about white nose syndrome. This is a condition that affects hibernation-dwelling hibernating bees, and causes them to be unable to survive winter months. It has been found in both wild and managed populations of hibernating bees. The disease is spread by a fungus that can be found in a variety of places and is not uncommon in urban areas. So it is still not known exactly how it is transmitted. Therefore, scientists believe that these spores get into the air and then land on the bodies of hibernating bees. These spores then spread from bee to bee and can be deadly to these insects.

Bees

Bees play an important role in our ecosystem. They are the primary pollinators of plants and trees, and the production of honey is an important part of many cultures around the world. Bees are facing many threats due to factors like habitat loss, pesticides, climate change and diseases like White Nose Syndrome. You can help protect bees by creating a bee-friendly garden that helps sustain their health. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Bees love nectar and pollen, so you can use these plants in your garden as a source of food and water, as well as to attract other insects that you may want to pollinate.
Wildflowers are also great plants to use, both as food and as a nectar source for other animals such as hummingbirds.

As a beekeeper, you will know what plants you have and their suitability for bee-friendly gardening. If you can’t get to these plants, there are other options available to you. For example, you can purchase bee-friendly plants online.
You can also buy bee-friendly flowers from local stores. These plants usually have a higher concentration of nectar than other plants, and are perfect for attracting bees to your garden.

You can also grow bee-friendly vegetables and fruits. They need to be planted as close as possible to the hive so that the bees can collect the nectar and pollen from their branches or stalks.

Natural Oils

Another option is to grow plants that release natural oils such as neem, lavender and peppermint. These oils can be collected by the bees and then used to create a natural repellant for them. You can also research different types of plants that have been known to be beneficial to bees.
