Now let’s take care of our bees and butterflies!

Most of us are aware that we are losing honey bees and other beneficial bugs due to our changing environment. We must all do our part to help Mother Nature, and we can by choosing plants that attract our flying insects and hummingbirds such as Hibiscus, Monarda, Crocosmia, Lilies, Heliotrop and Borage. Choose the colors that they are looking for. Make sure they have water when the heat sets in, and you can do this by adding assorted water features to your garden in a peaceful setting. We all need to do our part.

My niece Addie, senior in high school, decided to start a beehive in her garden! Can’t wait to follow her bees this spring and see if any honey will come out of it this summer. Long live the queen!

What a great project for our younger generation, to in a very small way, make a big change to our neighborhood environment.
