Spring Food for Honeybees

The spring season is quickly approaching, and with that we will soon hear the chirping of birds and the buzz of honeybees. With the weather warming, and sometimes being unpredictable, this is the perfect time to take up a new hobby of gardening while supporting our buzzing friends. 

If you are planning on supporting honeybee populations, while also taking in the beautiful sunshine, consider planting the list of plants below to ensure the honeybees have something to eat!

Some flowers that are perfect for spring bloom include: 

  • Bachelors Buttons
  • Snowdrops
  • Common Yarrow
  • Petunias
  • Marigolds
  • Bee Balm
  • Cosmos

All of these plants provide beautiful colors for your garden while also providing a nectar and pollen source for honeybees! You can find seeds and bulbs at your local garden store.
