In the spring, Joe S. and I chatted about providing continuous bloom for bees in his garden. When one type of flower has finished blooming there should be other flowers just beginning to open and bloom. Continuous bloom is an important part of managing a continuous food supply for wild bees.
When I photographed his spring blooming flowers, he mentioned that the following bloom would provide food for his summer bees including summer mason bees.
Sedum
Budlea
Italian herbs
Catony aster
