I think the best gift ideas for attracting pollinators such as bees is to give flower seeds and a bee hotel. Here is my top ten list for your bee lover. . .
Top Ten List:
1) Flower Seeds and Seedlings – perennial and annual flowers such as coreopsis, cosmos, zinnias.
2) Flowering Vegetables Seeds and Seedlings – peppers, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, squash and more
3) Flowering Fruit Trees, Bushes, Seeds and Seedlings – all fruit trees and bushes. Don’t forget about vining fruit like watermelon and cantaloupe.
