     Its time to start planting a bee garden! Today Haden and  Dad made three planter boxes, gofer proof and all! Now its time to start picking the flowers that will be best for pollen. After doing some research I have found that some of the best are fruit trees. It isn't possible to get a flowering fruit tree right out the gate however (they take years to grow) so I am looking for some other sorts of good pollen supplies. Here are my findings!
Rosemary

Lavander
Clover
sunflower
bee balm
poppy
Bachelor's button
     These are just a few that are suggested, however I love how all of these colors will go together in the garden. All of these will grow here in my backyard, the only problem is they also all need full sun. so we're going to have to find a spot where there will be lots of sun for them to grow!
