Helping the bees
A blooming garden, a buzzing life
A few flowers on a terrace, a tree in the garden, a corner of lawn left wild… Every space can offer a stopover for bees and other pollinators.
The best gift you can give them? Blooms that follow one another throughout the seasons, especially when flowers are scarce.
At the end of winter
Supporting the first flights
Snowdrops and crocuses open the season. The hazelnut tree provides pollen, while the catkins of the goat willow offer precious resources during the first mild days.
In the spring
Let nature in
Cherry and apple trees in bloom welcome the foragers. In the lawn, dandelions also deserve their place: letting a few patches bloom transforms a simple lawn into a small pantry.
In summer
Making abundance last
Lavender, thyme, and clover offer blooms appreciated by pollinators. In the garden or in pots, choose plants adapted to your space and let them bloom generously.
In autumn
Preserving the last flowers
Le lierre grimpant prend le relais lorsque beaucoup de fleurs disparaissent. Laissez fleurir ses rameaux : ils offrent du nectar et du pollen aux insectes encore actifs en fin de saison.
Small gestures, a place for living things
- Stagger the blooms. Combine several plants to extend the presence of flowers throughout the seasons.
- Prioritize simple flowers. Their accessible centers make it easier to collect nectar and pollen.
- Leave a wilder corner. Space out mowing and keep some dry stems and small natural refuges.
- Avoid pesticides. A garden welcoming to bees also preserves all the life that surrounds them.
No need for a perfect garden. A few flowers, a little patience, and a space left for nature can already do a lot.
