Thinking about starting a pollinators garden? Team Commissioner Ted Terry is sharing information about "bee kind" plants that keep bees fed from March through October:![]()
![]()
- Crocus — the first flower many bees see after winter. Early-emerging queen bumblebees depend on crocus pollen to start new colonies. Without early bloomers, spring nesting fails before it begins![]()
![]()
- Lavender — thousands of tiny nectar-rich florets that bloom for weeks. Honeybees, bumblebees, and mason bees all work it heavily through summer![]()
![]()
- Sunflower — each flower head contains hundreds of individual florets loaded with pollen. Bees spiral inward from the outer ring, feeding methodically. One sunflower keeps dozens of bees busy in a single day![]()
![]()
- Borage — refills its nectar rapidly, faster than most garden plants. Bumblebees learn the rhythm and return on schedule. Its blue star-shaped flowers are among the most heavily visited blooms in any garden![]()
![]()
- Catmint — blooms from late spring through fall with almost no care. Dense purple spikes produce nectar continuously, filling the gaps when other flowers fade between bloom cycles![]()
![]()
- Oregano — most gardeners harvest it before it flowers. Let one plant bloom and it becomes a magnet for small native bees and sweat bees that larger flowers exclude![]()
![]()
- White Clover — the most underrated bee plant in any yard. A patch of clover feeds more bees per square foot than most cultivated flower beds. Mowing less often is the easiest pollinator action most homeowners can take![]()
![]()
- Goldenrod — falsely blamed for allergies caused by ragweed. Goldenrod is insect-pollinated, not wind-pollinated. Late-season bee colonies depend on it to build winter reserves![]()
![]()
- Sedum — blooms in early fall when most gardens are winding down. Flat-topped flower clusters give bees a final critical feeding window before dormancy
Team Commissioner Ted Terry is thanking Glenn Burns for this warm welcome forcast we have been waiting for! Happy Spring, folks... it's going to be super warm during the next weeks!
