Attract bees and beneficial insects to your garden
 
Attract bees and beneficial insects to your garden

If you are having problems with fruit and vegetables not being productive, it could be due to lack of pollination. Many fruits and also vegetables such as Cucurbits need to be pollinated by bees in order to produce fruit. There are various species of flowering plants which we can plant in and around our veggie gardens and fruit trees in order to attract bees. Many of these plants will also attract beneficial insects such as ladybirds which help reduce garden pests like Aphids and Scale.
