As you may have heard by now, the population of bees is on the decline. Each year the number of pollinating bees drops by another 30%, placing several bee species on the endangered list and creating a problem for food growers. But we can do our part by inviting bees into our own yards and gardens, where they can find a safe haven from pesticides, climate change and invasive species that threaten their lives. French Florist recommends that you include bee-friendly flowers with bright blooms and simple petals, create ground shade for hot days and some water for hydration and watch your bees get to work.
Flowers that come in bright yellows, pinks and oranges like those featured in our Orange Roses, Lilies & Sunflowers Bouquet are perfect for drawing bees to your garden or backyard. Bees love the simplicity of roses and lilies, and sunflowers provide tons of nectar as well as shade. Fragrant blooms in bright colors are a winning combination for attracting bees.
When you're ready to create a bee-friendly atmosphere in your garden, yard, or porch, talk to the floral experts at French Florist about the best ways to make this new habitat friendly and comfortable. We'll be glad to resource you with tips, ideas and even some flowers to get you started.
