How does my garden grow...

It’s time for the Phlox to take center stage. They have a very delicate scent that I love. Lots of bees in the garden, which is good.

I just read an article by David Attenborough that says bees are under such stress, we should do all we can to help them.

According to a Facebook post from Attenborough, if bees were to disappear from the face of the earth, humans would have just four years to live.

But Sir David recommended in his post a very simple thing that we can all do to help save the bees and, apparently, ourselves.

“This time of year bees can often look like they are dying or dead, however, they’re far from it,” he wrote . “Bees can become tired and they simply don’t have enough energy to return to the hive which can often result in being swept away.”
“If you find a tired bee in your home, a simple solution of sugar and water will help revive an exhausted bee,” he continued. “Simply mix two tablespoons of white, granulated sugar with one tablespoon of water, and place on a spoon for the bee to reach.”
