Some of the most familiar and widespread insects – bees – ought to be welcomed and celebrated in the garden, but they can be inadvertently excluded and even harmed by those same pest control techniques. Creating a bee-safe garden doesn’t have to be difficult, however, and the more bee-friendly a garden is, the more both these beneficial insects and the garden will thrive.
There are thousands of bee species around the world, and there are more than 4,000 species of bees in North America alone. Many types of bees are helpful in the garden, pollinating flowering trees and shrubs, flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. With bees’ help, plants will produce more seeds, creating more bountiful crops and more beautiful flowerbeds, with no need for tedious hand-pollination or other artificial assistance.
