Herb Gardening for Bees Did you know that bees are instinctive and highly
skilled herbalists? Juliette de Bairacli Levy, the Master Herbalist, has found
that bees are wonderful doctors in their own right and know how to dose
themselves with herbs to maintain health within the hive. Herb Gardening for Bees (BMS Article) MANY of the plants we grow in our gardens such as annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees are herbs in the true sense of the word. With increased interest in recent years in continental or gourmet cooking the word "herb" is nearly always thought of by home gardeners to mean the "culinary" herb. When we started to garden we used such herbs as creeping thyme as a low plant to grow between the flagstones of our terrace for its attractive tiny foliage and aromatic odor, and we grew the familiar parsley and mint.

ones (like 5-10-5) to build their soil. Likewise they do not use synthetic
chemicals (like Sevin) for pest control. Whether you are an organic gardener or
just use some organic gardening principles, this publication gives you a variety
