Planting a diversity of flowers in the garden will create a healthy ecosystem that supports a diverse population of bees. Along with bumblebees and honeybees, there are over 800 species of native bees. While honeybees are generalists, many native bees are specialists that feed from smaller numbers of varieties. We can promote symbiosis by planting a wide range of flowers including native flowers that are accessible to bees, produce high levels of nectar and pollen, and bloom throughout the seasons.Β
