Planting - For The Bees

08 Sep, 2025

Spring has sprung, bringing warmer weather, longer days, and a garden bursting into bloom - perfect conditions for planting with pollinators in mind.

As bees emerge from their winter hibernation, they are actively seeking food sources to nourish themselves and their colonies. Although the weather can still be a bit unpredictable, now is an ideal time to dedicate a section of your garden to bee-friendly plants. These spring flowers provide essential pollen and nectar just when bees need it most, and as summer approaches, your garden will continue to support them as they transition to the next wave of blossoms. For the bees, a few flowers can be a lifeline. Plant them, and bring your garden to life with the sound of pollinators at work. Keep your bee-friendly flowers well fed with liquid Aquaticus Organic Garden Booster once every three to four weeks! Giving your plants a nutritional boost will help ensure a steady supply of blooms for your buzzing garden visitors.
