This is a testament to healthy biodiversity. We have planted numerous types of habitat for pollinators. We also have many different types of herbs which are favorites among many bees but interestingly even though there are other types of mints in bloom right now the water mint we planted in the bog filter has absolutely been loaded with all kinds of different bees while the other plants only have a few. We have also seen cabbage white butterflies and many hoverflies on the same patch. The only other flowers we have seen that are always a huge favorite are Cinderella Milkweed and always lavender. This is where planting many options pays off when the pollinators tell you what they love!🐝🌿

If you see a sleeping bumblebee on a flower don't be alarmed, he is doing just fine. What you are seeing is one of two things, either its a male bumblebee or a new queen.

After leaving the nest to mate, male bumblebees do not return to the hive. Instead they spend their nights resting out in the open on plants, grasses, or usually tucked inside a flower and live only a few weeks.

New young queens feed heavily on late-summer blooms to build up fat reserves. They occasionally use flowers to rest on before searching for an underground cavity to hibernate through the winter. The old queen and the summer's worker bees naturally reach the end of their annual life cycle and begin to die off. If you find a tired or sleeping bee on a flower its best to leave it be so it can conserve its energy.

New queens burrow into loose soil, leaf litter, or abandoned rodent holes just a couple of inches deep to overwinter so try to avoid heavily digging and turning the garden soil. Also try to leave your leaves as a mulch layer for other trees and over wintering shrubs as they provide valuable shelter for moths, butterflies, bees and other pollinators.

We can never plant enough lavender for the bees!🌿🐝

Every now and then we catch a rare photo and this was one of those times when this beautiful honeybee was about to land on some lavender and the sun was hitting just right. It almost seems to show a different world than the one we always see with our own eyes. On another note you hardly could walk through this this small section at one point and there was no life here. Now you find more and more different kinds of bees and pollinators every year as more diverse pollinator habitat is added🌿🐝

Here's our other favorite pic for the best plant for the honeybees and pollinators! Even though its a tie between Cinderella Milkweed as it seems to draw even more variety of pollinators, Lavender hands down beats just about anything out there with its long bloom time, easy maintenance, esthetics, amazing smell and sheer amout of food it provides for such a long time🐝🍂

Out of the many different types of pollinator habitat we have planted over the years Cinderella milkweed is probably one of the top 5 best plants for pollinators. We have seen numerous native bees, bumblebees, honeybees, butterflies, cabbage whites and other pollinators that absolutely go crazy over this plant. Not to mention it is one of the most important plants to have to support monarch butterflies🐝🍂🌿
