Attract bees to your vegetable garden by planting bright annual flowers like Marigold and Dianthus<\/strong>. Perennial flowers like salvia and lavender<\/strong> are also great for attracting bees. Planting fruit in your vegetable garden like strawberries, tomatoes and zucchini will also attract bees<\/strong> and add a bee hotel to give native bees a place to rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Plant flowers that attract bees to your vegetable garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choose flowers with bright centers that are yellow or white. Bees love flowers that are full of nectar and easy to find. Bees can see flowers in the ultraviolet light spectrum so will be attracted to flowers that are bright yellow, white, purple or blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
