Pollinator Friendly Plants


Throughout the year, we carry many of the following annuals, perennials, shrubs & trees, all of which benefit native pollinators & honeybees alike with either a high nectar or high pollen content, or resin to help with propolis manufacture. Make sure your garden has a good selection of bee forage - it is an excellent way to benefit honeybees!
