Fall Gathering


Bees were covering this Aster plant in the garden today.  It is important to provide bees with a late source of nectar and pollen. Hives have already been harvested of all the extra honey so bees are now putting up their winter stores.  Consider planting these fall bloomers to extend the season for pollinators:
  • Asters
  • Goldenrod
  • Joe Pyeweed
  • Saliva
  • Sedum
  • Spirea
  • Sunflowers
  • Zinnias
