Planting for Honeybees

Bees and plants have been on earth for more than 80 million years, developing a sophisticated and delicate synergy. In recent times, the honeybee has struggled to survive with limited forage and the shrinking of green spaces. Planting for Honeybees will show you how to help these delightful pollinators and create a thriving garden at the same time.

No matter how small or large your space, from a window ledge in the city to a country garden, discover a collection of simple yet practical growing tips; what plants to plant, in which season, and where to plant them. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Sarah Wyndham Lewis reveals how to conquer your garden and grow irresistible honeybee forage, while simultaneously doing your bit for the natural world.

Of the 25,000 known species of bee worldwide, only seven species are honeybees. Bees and plants have a sophisticated and delicate symbiosis. In recent years, the shrinking of green spaces has endangered the honeybee. Now Planting for Honeybees shows you how you can help these delightful pollinators to flourish by creating a garden as habitat for them. No matter how small or large your space - from a window ledge in the city to a country garden - Sarah Wyndham Lewis offers practical advice on which plants to grow and when and where to plant them.

Charmingly illustrated with delicate drawings, this a jewel of a guide to treasure.
