Reblogged from Romancing the Bee:
Did you know that trees provide most of the surplus nectar and pollen for bees? Or that 5 or 6 trees produce as much nectar and pollen as a whole field of wildflowers?
Most people don't. That's unfortunate because planting a tree, especially in an urban area, is one of the most effective things you can do to help save the bees.
We seriously plant about 50 up to 300 trees a year
At home we do it for privacy. Our other property for beauty and wildlife
WoW! You are so lucky to even have room enough to plant that many trees around you! We have ONE tree here…a sad little Tree of Heaven. No grass, no flowers…just solid dirt…ACK! And tons of watering restrictions, too so planting very many trees would get me fined out the wazoo. I hate the desert, I’ve mentioned that, right????
Lol!! Yes, you’ve mentioned that. You would love to roam the woods where I hunt girl. So full of wildlife. I’ve seen minks, bobcats, even a wild boar…and I walk with an unloaded gun…that was scary!!! Lol!
