Day #195 Nectar, and Lack Thereof


We have quite a lot of potted flowers on our deck this year, and annuals beside the deck.
However, as I have shown before, we also allowed the nettles to grow at the back,
and some catnip has recently flowered beside my tomatoes.
It's scary!
What's scary?
This!!!
The bees are always in the nettles and catnip, but never seem to be on the potted flowers, and/or on the annuals from the garden centre.
I was told recently that most garden centre flowers are sterile.
A TV docu and a radio program, both of which were on recently,
focused on the decline of bees.
Folks, we must allow wildflowers into our gardens,
even if we have to make special plots for them.
Look how beautiful they are.
Give one/some a home, for the sake of Mother Earth,
and for your decendents, which are one and the same issue.
