Bee Plants for Human and Animal Health
Dear friends,
The following over 120 plants have multiple uses: as food and medicinal sources for bees (nectar, pollen, resins and balsams), as food sources and natural drugs potentially for every living being, including us! If you have the possibility to protect or grow these plants please DO IT !!! Ask your local gardener, if necessary, for more "technical" advice. By protecting these plants you protect your own, and others, Life and Health! If you know of other medicinal bee plants in your area, please update us.

We will be happy to spread your word!

1. New England Aster
Mine was huge this year and covered in bees. It's native to this region and the bees just love it.

4. Mint, Basil, Catnip, Camomile (all gone to flower now)
are popular with the honeybees.
The basil and catnip sound like little hives with all the buzzing.
Smells good too!
