THanks everyone for the compliments on the pictures. DH took them for me.
Charleen I never got around to fixing the water things i intended to due to DH not helping me with fixing the drainage hole in the planter dish I was going to use. They found the feed trough that DH had brought up here from the pasture since it wasn't being used there. He filled it with dirt aiming to plant cucumbers in it but it didn't drain worth a hoot sitting on the ground so it holds water and is close to the hives.
Samantha I'm trying my best to get gardeners everywhere to consider planting plants for the bees. You can find 595 entries in the
Plants For Honey Bees database
