Bee friendly plants to sow this summer

Give bees a helping hand by planting flowers, shrubs and trees that will provide them with the nectar and pollen they need to thrive, as well as nesting habitats.

Other things to consider:

- Plant through the seasons to provide year-round bee habitat

- Give bees shelter by letting the grass grow

- Don't use pesticides or insecticides 

- Use peat-free compost to save wildlife habitat

- Create a bee hotel.

Our bees are not only important to us at Courtney's because they produce our incredible honey we use to infuse Grumblebee Rum, they also pollinate all of the apple trees in our orchard where we make our Cider and Juice!
