Never having been into gardening I have had a lot to learn about the plants bees like. Never more so than when I tried to remember a few appearing throughout the year for my Basic Examination. So I thought I would gather together a simple list with photos (for which I have copyright approval!) The list of plants selected is taken from the Beekeeping Year Planner but I have already been tempted to replicate the Crocus into an earlier month based on what I actually saw.
December / January – Mahonia
February – Snowdrops (Crocus)
March – Crocus, Willow
April – OSR, Dandelion
