notes
The Bee Herbal Garden contains a selection of six herbs that are equally as valuable for the bees as they are for the herbal apothecary. Grown from seed, these perennial herbs take a little longer to flower in their first year, after which they will bloom continuously for six months every year. Starting with thyme in the spring, ending with goldenrod in the autumn, these flowers provide the bees with an abundant supply of food; in return, the bees provide an essential service in pollinating the herbs.

Details & Care

Licorice mint makes a delicious herbal tea by just infusing a few leaves in a cup. Thyme is delicious in cooking and is a favourite in herbal honey and syrups. Bee balm tastes like a strong oregano – use sparingly! Echinacea can be used to support the immune system.
