Did You Know
The Sun
Did you know that bees use the position of the sun to navigate? The bees have been navigating their way over to dandelions all day today. . Let dandelions grow. Bees, beetles and birds need them. Dandelions are demonised as one of the most annoying weeds, but hold back on the mowing and you’ll find a whole range of garden wildlife depends on them for food. Dandelions are rich in both pollen and nectar.

Bees are also so vital for the preservation of ecological balance and biodiversity in nature. Here is one of our bees enjoying the hawthorn, a fantastic flower providing us with a great honey flow at the moment.

Flowers
Borage (Borago Officinalis) looking stunning in our bee friendly / wildlife friendly garden. We've never tried eating them ourselves but the delicate star shaped blooms are edible and apparently have a subtle flavour similar to that of a cucumber 😋🐝.

Pink Cosmos 🌸 Probably one of our favourite summer flower here at Gwenyn Gruffydd. So easy to grow, the flowers attract a variety of benefitial insects like butterflies, hoverflies and of course bees including honey bees. They also make a good cut flower 🌸🌸🌸.
