    Default Phil McAnespie on Beechgrove

    Did anyone see Phil on Beechgrove, promoting SBA, Beekeeping & plight of Bees. Shame I couldn't get to Gardening Scotland this weekend. Ayr & District had their open hive demo there. Great wee few minutes!

    It's a great way to promote bee friendly plants and beekeeping. It's one thing knowing about the ones in the wild, but they dont look good or wouldn't fit into a small garden border.

    Does anyone know of a good reference source for finding out which plants are good for the insects?

    I use websites mainly as well as my gardening reference books and RHS encyclopaedia. Try http://www.rhs.org.uk/Gardening/Sust...or-pollinators

    That's excellent thanks. The list saves to my phone- ideal for shopping
