Bees are essential to the pollination process, which facilitates the growth of fruits, vegetables, and seeds in plants. However, disease, pesticides, and habitat degradation are causing their populations to decline. One easy yet efficient strategy to help maintain and restore bee populations is to cultivate plants that are beneficial to bees. This article offers a thorough guide on which plants to grow in your garden to support bee conservation, explaining the reasons behind the benefits of each plant and how to grow it.
