Nectar provides them with the energy they need to fly and find a nest, while pollen provides bee grubs with the protein they need to grow. By growing a good mix of flowering plants in your garden, you can provide a wealth of nectar and pollen for bees.
How to grow plants for bees
Choose single, open flowers where you can see the central part of the flower – where the bees can access the nectar and pollen. To give bees the best chance to thrive, it is therefore important to grow flowers from late winter to autumn – all year round if possible.
A great way to help bees in spring is to plant spring-flowering bulbs in autumn. Bulbs are hardy and reliable plants, so you can guarantee the bees will have a source of pollen and nectar when there’s little else in the flower.=
Bees can see the colour purple more clearly than any other colour, and some of the best bee plants, such as alliums, lavender, buddleia and catmint, have purple flowers.
