For several years, I have recorded which flowers I see bees feeding on in my yard and elsewhere in Southern California, as well as the dates I see them. For example, this month I noted that there are many bees visiting the flowers of my bolted greens (above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a list that I compiled based on these notes. Month by month, it shows which flowering plants that I\u2019ve seen many bees consistently feeding on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full names of some plants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the full names, scientific names, other names, and cultivar names of some of the plants in the list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

lavender<\/em> is Lavandula x intermedia \u2018Provence\u2019 and \u2018Goodwin Creek\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

gaillardia<\/em> is Gaillardia pulchella<\/p>\n\n\n\n

encelia<\/em> is Encelia californica, also called California coast sunflower or bush sunflower<\/p>\n\n\n\n

salvia chamaedryoides<\/em> is also called Germander sage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sugar bush<\/em> is Rhus ovata<\/p>\n\n\n\n

borage<\/em> is Borago officinalis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ceanothus<\/em> is \u2018Julia Phelps\u2019 and \u2018South Coast Blue\u2019 and \u2018Ray Hartman\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

filaree<\/em> is different species of Erodium; it\u2019s a weed, but the bees do love it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

black sage<\/em> is Salvia mellifera<\/p>\n\n\n\n

woolly blue curls<\/em> is Trichostema lanatum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

monkey flowers<\/em> is Mimulus aurantiacus or Diplacus aurantiacus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

buckwheat<\/em> is Eriogonum fasciculatum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sunflowers<\/em> is Helianthus annuus (\u2018Lemon Queen\u2019 is a good one for bees but so are many others)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

oregano<\/em> is ? (I don\u2019t know which kind of oregano is in my yard, but I’ve seen that lots of different types of oregano appeal to bees so it probably isn’t important)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cilantro<\/em> is Coriandrum sativum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

A couple notes about the list<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often, due to the weather of a particular year or a yard\u2019s location, these plants can be in bloom and attractive to bees in other months as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to bees, these flowering plants are almost all used by other beneficial insects. What do I mean by beneficial insects? I\u2019m talking about insects that prey on other bugs that can be pests to our plants. I\u2019m talking about beneficial insects like syrphid flies (hover flies) and lady bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

(See my post about how syrphid flies protect our citrus trees: “Citrus, ants, and HLB: the latest research.”<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the point of this list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you know, bees are vital to the production of most fruits and vegetables. Without their pollination activities, many of our food-garden plants would not produce. And in order to ensure that bees have a high presence in our gardens and groves we should provide food for them. What is food for bees? Flowers. The pollen and nectar of flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to have the highest number of bees and diversity of types of bees, there must be plenty in bloom in our yards (or our neighborhood) all year long. So if you notice a period of time where there\u2019s nothing for the bees to eat in the area, refer to the list and plant to fill that gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, I noticed that I didn\u2019t have as many flowers for bees as I thought I should through the late fall and early winter so I planted more lavender and rosemary and encelia and borage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now here in late January, exactly one year later, these new plants are finally providing dividends. Some are just starting to bloom whereas others have been in profuse bloom for months already. It is working!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

Your contribution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you add to the list? Which other plants have you noticed bees heavily feeding on in a particular month? I know there are many others that I haven’t listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
