Bee Garden


 

The Oregon State University Extension Service has posted an article “12 Plants to Entice Pollinators to Your Garden“.

 

The Pollinator Partnership has published guides on selecting plants for pollinators. Our area is designated as  the Sierran Steppe-Mixed Forest-Coniferous Forest-Alpine Meadow Province.

You can find general advice on bee gardens at the Honey Bee Conservancy’s Plant a Bee Garden page.

 

We are looking for volunteers to develop a more specific pollinator plant list for our area. The goal is to create a guide to building a garden appropriate for our site and climate with year-round nectar and pollen resources for honeybees, bumble bees, and other pollinators.
