We have a few hives in a field behind our house. We have noticed all the neighbouring fruit trees doing very well this year -- clutches of plums and apples weighing down the branches.
- arethuza 7y agoWe have a funny looking bush in our garden that doesn't even have very large flowers on it - but bees (both honey bees and bumble bees) just love it - its always thick with them over the summer even though we have loads of other flowers in our garden. What I particularly love is the sound of a number of bees - fantastically relaxing.
- bb101 7y agoWe have a similar one -- a Cotoneaster. Turns out bees love it in May.
- duxup 7y agoI have a lilac bush that depending on the time of year you're bound to bump into (and bee bumped into) by the local bumble bees who are floating around it. Bumble bees seem like they're perpetually out of control.
- avip 7y agoThese fruits (from the Rosaceae family) are mostly self-incompatible, and depend a lot on bees.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoWe've had fruit trees and grown vegetables in our garden for getting on 10 years and started beekeeping 3 years ago. We've had huge amounts of produce ever since (UK).
