In our previous blog, we explored four tree and shrub species that support bees in early spring. As spring advances and pollinator gardens burst into bloom, it's important not to overlook the ongoing significance of native trees and shrubs in the bee lifecycle. In this blog, we will explore four of the finest mid-spring blooming native trees and shrubs. Keep reading to find out why bees love trees!
When considering the essentials for supporting bees, our minds often turn to vibrant pollinator gardens. However, it might surprise you to learn that bees depend on native trees as well. While trees help humans by offering shade, privacy, and aesthetic appeal, trees also play a crucial role in providing much-needed spring food and shelter for these vital pollinators.
Sprinklers are a familiar sight on lawns and in gardens, but did you know that they have the potential to negatively impact trees by causing stress? Discover how watering with sprinklers can impact your tree and learn the key to properly watering in our newest blog.
