"Bees Need Flowers, Planting for Pollinators"
Available Fall 2022!
I've lost count of the number of times beekeepers have told me they are beekeepers; why do they need to know about flowers.
Flowers provide bees with food; carbs through nectar for flight fuel and pollen for baby food. Bees are nature's matchmakers, ensuring that certain plants reproduce through pollination.
Healthy and varied food sources help bees stay strong and healthy. Poor nutrition is among five current stressors impacting honey bees worldwide.
"Bees Need Flowers Planting for Pollinators" will be a handy reference book covers how to assess your current property where you plan to locate bees to what to plant. As an advanced master gardener, I help you plan your food sources with handy checklists and guides that make the planning process easier. They also help you provide your bees with food sources to help keep your bees healthy.
This new book will also be reviewed by the Great Plains Master Beekeeping program and will be an excellent reference with my Planting for Pollinators lectures.
"Bees Need Flowers" is part of a three reference book set covering fundamental beekeeping related topics. The other two books are "Bee Club Basics or How to Start a Bee Club" published October 2019, and "A Beekeeper's Diary, Self-Guide to Keeping Bees 2nd Edition published December 2021.
