The Buzz on Bees
Bees are some of the hardest working insects in the garden. They flit from flower to flower, collecting nectar to bring back to their hives. But did you know that bees have a special talent for finding the sweetest flowers? It's true! Bees have a special sense that helps them sniff out the flowers with the most nectar.
Crocuses: The First Signs of Spring
Crocuses are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring. They push their way up through the cold earth, bringing a splash of color to the garden. And for busy bees, they're a welcome sight! Crocuses are filled with sweet, sticky nectar that bees love to collect.
A Match Made in Heaven
When a busy bee meets a patch of crocuses, it's a match made in heaven. The bee gets to collect all the nectar it needs, and the crocuses get to be pollinated. It's a win-win situation! And as the bee flies from flower to flower, it spreads pollen and helps the crocuses grow even more beautiful.
