Dandelions ~ Did You Know?
βTo most, theyβre just weeds. But to bees, theyβre life. Dandelions are among the first real food bees find after winter. Yet every year, people rush to spray herbicides, wiping out what little nutrition these pollinators have left.β
What to Do?
βHold off on spraying until blackberries bloom β a natural sign that more nectar sources are available. Until then, βweedsβ like clover, violets, and dandelions are all theyβve got.
In many regions, this means mid-June or later.β
The Problem With No bees?
β‘οΈ No pollination
β‘οΈ No food crops
β‘οΈ No harvest for us
What to Do?
βSkip the notion of a perfect lawn. Let the wildflowers grow a little longer.
And let the bees do what they do best β¦ β
