http://uslanka.net/wp-includes/sodium_compat/ We just had our wildflower festival at Catskill Native Nursery, and the owner, Francis Groeters, gave a pretty impressive talk on native pollinators (as opposed to the nonnative honeybees). One of his powerpoint slides – how I love scientists – simply said “Observe.” His point was to observe how the plants in your garden create interactions with nature, particularly with regard to pollination, but generally as well.
where can i purchase accutane I’ve been working on a list of good bee-plants, because I like having them around the garden to pollinate my food crops (tomatoes, watermelons) as quickly as possible. But I’m aware I need a longer list.
May: the bees love blueberry and pieris flowers, which are very early; in later May the apple trees seem to be their favorite.
June: lindens, chokeberries (photinia), diervilla (=bush-honeysuckle).
July/August: agastache, pycnanthemum, and all other mints, though they never approach my ironically named beebalms.
August/September: turtleheads (chelone). Watching the bees squeeze into the flowers is very entertaining.
