The Bee-Friendly Garden

There are numerous benefits to having a bee garden, both personal and global. Not only are bee gardens gorgeous, but they are organic, pesticide-free and ecologically sustainable. For fruit and vegetable gardeners, inviting nature's most productive pollinator into the yard can provide an impressive increase in yields and better-tasting produce. And finally, bee gardens help fight the much-publicized decline in bee population.

Award-winning garden designer Kate Frey and bee expert Gretchen LeBuhn provide everything readers need, from "super-blooming" flowers to regional plant lists and plants to avoid. Illustrated with full-color photos, the book debunks myths about bees, explains seasonal flower progression, and provides how-to instructions for nest boxes and water features.
