This Spring Plant a Flower Garden for the Honeybees
By Virginia Wright
THE HONEYBEE- Isn’t it interesting to know, that the honeybee is the only insect that provides us with something that we can eat! That golden, sweet, healthy for us food called-- honey! But with the disappearing honeybee population, our honey supplies are diminishing in the United States. This situation is called CCD or Colony Collapse Disorder; and researchers are trying to figure out reasons for honeybee disappearance.
You can help the honeybee population by planting a flower garden with flowers that grow in your local area that honeybees like. I will list a few that I know of that are great honeybee fodder when they are foraging for food.
* Zinnia's
* Aster
* Heather
* Black-Eyed Susan
* Cone Flower
No matter what type of flower plot you plant for your bees, don't use chemicals on your garden... this could be detrimental (harmful), to these much needed pollinator's.
