Honeybees, mining bees, bumblebees, hoverflies, butterflies and moths all need our help. Grow these pollen and nectar-rich herbs:
- Lemon Balm
- Mint
- Fennel
- Lavender
- Chamomile
Try these flowering pot plants:
- Coreopsis
- Nicotiana
- Scabious
- Monarda (bee balm)
- Bidens (the simple, single flowered variety)
but forget about verbena, pelargoniums and fuchsias as far as the insects are concerned.
