Not only are these herbs medicinal; the bees love them; and they may benefit from the medicinal properties as well. ( the jury is still out on that theory but if herbs have medicinal qualities that help humans it only stands to reason they maybe helpful to bees too.). Herbs provide pollen, shelter, nectar, protein, and carbs for the bees.
Basil, rosemary, and lemon balm have flowers that are tiny and will attract the bees. These herbs are also great in many dishes,herbal oils, and herbal vinegar. Some other herbs are: anise hyssop. Anise have small flowers in midsummer and can be used for a tea to aid digestion. Catmint has tiny purple flowers loved by the bees and hummingbirds and can be used for a tea to nourish the nervous system.
Happy Valentine's Day to you all.
