| | | Plant Collection: Honeybee Friendly Starter Plants This well priced starter collection of perennials will attract honeybees to your garden in late summer and help them in winter. It consists of eight plants: one Mahonia 'Buckland' three Sedum 'Autumn Joy' three Helleborus 'Niger' and one Aster x frikartii 'Monch'. These traditional cottage garden plants are easy for beginners and will thrive in most well drained soils in a sunny situation. The Mahonia and Hellebore will also do well in some shade. This honeybee collection is unavailable for delivery in winter.
Providing honeybees with nectar in the autumn and winter is increasingly important given the recent trend of cold wet summers and warm winters. A poor June- August means that late summer isn't only problemmatic for honeybees because of marauding wasps (as pictured), but also means it is increasingly important for them to find late forage ahead of the winter. Later on in the season they will fly on warm winter days and, if they find no nectar, use up their honey stores too quickly and starve.
