Bees require two components in their habitat: somewhere to nest and flowers from which to gather nectar and pollen. Native plants are undoubtedly the best source of food for native bees-because plants and their pollinators have coevolved-and they serve honeybees well too.
Use local native plants or heirloom varieties of cultivated forms.
Choose several colors of flowers.
Plant in clumps.
Include flowers of different shapes.
