What can I do to attract bees to pollinate my garden in southern Australia
I am looking for advice on what must do to attract bees in our garden in the South Australia. Our climate is very dry and we had no bees around the area for a long period and therefore our gardens have been very productive in recent years. I'm looking for advice on how to attract bees and get them to pollinate plants for us.
Well, apart from getting your own hive there are some things you can do: – give them a source of water (especially if it's rare). A shallow container with some rocks in it to drown should not do. My family raised bees and we like to use them upside down bird feeders for dogs and cats with stones or sand in the tank. – Clover plants, Lavender and calistemon grevilleas. Or any plant with abundant fragrant flowers. – Avoid using chemical pesticides / Insecticides in the garden, bees are very sensitive. I hope that. Good luck, maybe the nectar with you.
