Flowers that help the bees in windy times, plus it's a rather lovely picture of a Bee.

Rather than starting a new thread I thought I would place this link here as it's to do with Bees and Flowers.
This is another interesting article that depends on the type of garden your have or the area in which you live as to whether you get bees in your garden but interesting at the end for other wildlife.

Some more interesting facts
Did you know?

To produce just one medium sized jar of honey, honey bees have to visit over two million flowers, and fly a whopping 90,000km!

You can watch a great video that contains Interesting Facts about honey bees on the BBC website.

Thats some really interesting facts WS. They are very hard working aren't they.

I am hoping that the sweet peas I am growing in my garden will help the bees and also the butterflys.
