I'll add some edible things that have been a hugely popular with our bees.
- Borage
- Raspberries
- Sunflowers
- Calendula
- Peas
And we also planted:
- Dark Star Ceanothus
Which is basically a bee colony when it is flowering.
- xsmasher 7y agoI had some Borage in my garden for the bees - turns out I have an allergic reaction to borage. Itches like crazy.
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoyou are not allergic. borage belongs to the cucumber family and the stems and leaves have these tiny prickles. just wear long gloves. they reseed like crazy..they are edible flowers and bees love them. further, the leaves can be cooked as pasta filling. mild taste of cucumber. once you have one borage plant, you will never get rid of them. i have both the blue and white variety.
