Plants Bees and Other Pollinating Insects Like

We do not stock all the plants below yet, but have added them to offer a comprehensive list of BEE FRIENDLY herbs. The more bee friendly plants that are added to gardens, parks and other public areas, the more food available for our native insects.
You can find out more at the Bumble Bee Conservation Trust.
It is a good idea to plant flowers that will give the bees and other insects food all season long. Flowering herbs and wildflowers that will give the bees food from March to April are bluebell, bugle and rosemary, as well as blossoming trees such as apple, cherry and pear.
