It is easy to attract pollinating insects to the garden by planting honey plants. Flowering plants, fragrant plants, shrubs, not to mention wild flowers and herbs: honey species are abundant and are a gesture of biodiversity, a good friend of the garden!
The gardener is interested in attracting pollinating insects. Bees and butterflies pollinate vegetables and fruit trees. A garden buzzing with bees is the promise of a great harvest. And welcoming the great variety of insects is the first step toward biological control.
Cultivated and ornamental plants
In the case of honey plants, we are mostly talking about flowering plants, crops or bulbs. As a rule, it is preferable to choose native species that are adapted to the climate and require little or no special care. Some of them are perennial, others are annuals.
