Bees are fighting a losing battle these days, with environmental changes affecting their livelihood. These important contributors to the world’s food sources could leave a very big problem behind if they disappear completely. But there are ways we can help, right in our own backyards. If you have a thriving garden, be sure to include bee-friendly options like daisies, irises, roses and lavender to attract bees and give them a safe place to work. Bees need fresh water to stay hydrated and some shade for hot days- providing both of these elements in your garden is a recipe for a successful bee culture in your yard. Walter Knoll Florist encourages you to make your outdoor space beautifully inviting for bees and other pollinators. Read More about Garden Flowers That Enchant Bees »
