I don’t have a favorite bee flower, yet. I’m just beginning my gardening adventure. Discovering my retirement activities. I DO keep the clover in my yard (and there’s PLENTY of it!) and I planted a butterfly garden from a bulb package that has bloomed, for the first time, this spring. I look forward to learning!

Bees love the crooked neck squash and pole bean blooms. This year is our third try at having a garden and the first using Mary’s Heirloom seeds. We have gotten the most yield this year than we ever have using her seeds – even as it’s been one of the driest springs we’ve had in a while. Definitely will use Mary’s seeds again – they are definitely the best seeds we’ve ever used.

Beth on 1 Jul 11:42

My local bees are loving the Pentas I planted this spring!

I would have to say wildflowers because I love wildflower honey , now to the garden it’s my first time having borage so we will see , around or near my box raised beds I plant marigolds every year and I have a hummingbird bird garden with tons of bee balm and Black-eyed Susan grow wild all along the drive I guess I have flowers surrounding the place but I see the most bees attracted to plane old clover 🍀

SANDY Delaune on 1 Jul 08:30

The bees love all my flowers.

Meghan K on 1 Jul 08:30

My favorite bee friendly plant this year has been Lacy Phacelia. It grew fast, smelled amazing, very pretty and the bees loved it! It also was great for keeping the weeds at a minimum where it grew.

Linda on 1 Jul 08:30

Right now my honey bees are all over the lavender and a yellow weed I let grow just for them. Pretty soon they will be on the star thistle (another weed) and the sunflowers. Thank you for the giveaway.

My favorite bee friendly flower is probably sunflowers. One plant can fit hundreds of bees!

We plant many flowers around the farm for not only bees but for butterflies as well. The ones that I love the most are in the vegetable garden walking through in the morning hearing all the bees hard at work helping us produce our food.
