A big THANKS to all for making the garden tour so successful yesterday! It was great to meet so many kindred spirits. Many of you had questions about bees and beekeeping. We hope you enjoyed the demo hive and were inspired to take action and support the pollinators in your gardens and neighborhoods. Looking out at the garden this morning I saw 5 beautiful dragonflies leisurely circling (and eating mosquitos I hope!). In swooped a large bright yellow butterfly gliding among the many bees busily working on collecting nectar and pollen for their hives. I am happy to know that the plants in my garden are attracting and supporting these beautiful garden insects.
Check out this link to a wonderful brochure put together by Beth Conrey, President of the Colorado State Beekeepers Association (www.coloradobeekeepers.org). We handed out copies of this at the tour yesterday and it is filled with super helpful information and plant lists for creating your own pollinator habitats.
Happy Planting!
