Bee-loved Garden Flowers

by G. Edwin Varner

Overview

This informative and entertaining eBook describes some of the best seasonal garden flowers that provide abundant nectar and pollen to attract pollinating bees.

The question of why you should attract bees is logical since your primary consideration is to grow beautiful flowers. Our common honey bee, bumblebee, and solitary bee populations are rapidly declining worldwide. There are plenty of speculations about the causes of this decrease but with few solutions.

These insects are vital for essential pollination services for our garden flowers, fruit, and vegetable crops. Will our flower gardens help ease this decline? In a small way, yes — but a united effort of many small gardens acting together each year will make a promising difference in the survival of all bees. They are worth the effort, even if they sting!

This eBook identifies and describes several beautiful bee-friendly flowers for continuous spring-to-fall blooming, ensuring a constant visitation of several pollinating bees to your flower and vegetable gardens.

Please learn not to think, "Why should I care about bees?" Instead, ask, "How can I help them?" This publication will explain why you must care, suggest which plants to grow, and perform essential practices to help your neighborhood bees thrive and survive.

About the Author

G. Edwin Varner grew up on a farm helping his father in the crop fields and assisting his mother in the flower and vegetable gardens. This early experience and learning lead him to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Botany.

For twenty years he successfully owned and operated a fragrant flower mail-order nursery. Unlike most mail-order nurseries publishing colorful but expensive pictorial catalogs, his frugal catalog extensively described the flowers he grew. He once said, “I write a thousand words worth a picture in my catalogs.” Today, he has the same style of writing (thankfully with fewer words) through a variety of enjoyable and informative ebooks. This time, the ebooks include color photos of each flower.

He encourages you to cultivate something unique and beautiful in your gardens. His motto is “read about it, see it, grow it and enjoy it!”

G. Edwin Varner is the owner of Green Thumb Publications and lives in a rural area of northeastern Ohio, USA.
