A bee-friendly garden favours yellow, white, blue and purple flowers, such as alyssum, borage, felicia, gazania, lavender, polygala, protea, rosemary, sage, salvia, scabious, sunflower and thyme.  Bees have different tongue lengths. Some bees prefer the flat, open flowers of the daisy family, while others visit tubular flowers of agapanthus, fuchsia, gladiolus, tree fuchsia (Halleria lucida), lion’s ear (Leonotis leonurus), lavender, salvia and watsonia.

Plant flowers, preferably scented, in large clusters in your garden, on your verge and in pots on the patio.

Bees need a shallow water source year round with small stones as landing pads to prevent drowning.

Do not use pesticides or fungicides in or near a bee garden.

Cubs to plant seeds into eggboxes to transplant into their "bee garden" at home.  They will have some marbles that they will use to create the bee bath (see attachment) and can plant out their seedlings around the area.
