We’ve had some lovely rain at our place so far today, and The Farm has had over 30mm so far this week! The garden (and gardener!) are heaving a huge sigh of relief.

How to make your garden native bee friendly.

I would also highly recommend Doug Purdie’s books, The Bee Friendly Garden, and Backyard Bees. Although these are more Honey-bee focused, they will give you a great insight into how bees and other pollen/nectar-foraging insects see our typically green-centric garden designs. For a more technical insight into native bees, you really can’t do better than Tim Heard’s The Australian Native Bee Book.

Happy reading and gardening! :)
