Scientists have recently learned that all plants give off an electric charge that insects can pick up. Bumblebees especially can find and decipher weak electric signals emitted by specific flowers.
Bees can differentiate between different floral fields and single flowers. These electric signals will change if another bee has recently visited a flower, telling the bee to go to the next flower!
A world without bees could struggle to sustain the global human population of 7 billion. So here are some of the best flowers you can plant to help save the bees!
Crocus, Hyacinth, Borage, Calendula, and Wild Lilac are just some of the plants that help bees in the spring! Planting these beautiful blooms will help bees wake up and pollinate some of our favourite summer flowers!
Bees feast on Bee Balm, Cosmos, Echinacea, Snapdragons, Foxglove, and Hosta in the summer. Filling your garden with these beauties will not only help save the bees, but also make all your neighbours jealous!
