What are the best heirloom flowers to attract bees to my organic farm?
I'm currently managing my organic farm in California, focusing on increasing biodiversity to boost pollination. I've had success with some traditional crops, but I'm really looking to incorporate heirloom flowers that not only attract bees but also complement my vegetable varieties. I've been researching different flowering options, but I’m unsure about which heirloom varieties are most effective for attracting bees specifically. My farm's layout has a mix of sunny and shaded spots, and I want to make sure I choose the right plants that thrive in both conditions. Can anyone help me with recommendations on heirloom flowers that are particularly enticing to bees?
