Plant native flowers: Choose a variety of native flowers to attract native bee species to your garden.
Provide nesting sites: Incorporate bee hotels, hollow plant stems, and bare soil patches for nesting opportunities.
Avoid pesticides: Opt for natural pest control methods to protect bees from harmful chemicals.
Create diversity: Include a range of flowering plants that bloom at different times to support bees throughout the year.
Provide water: Set up shallow water sources like birdbaths or small dishes with rocks for bees to drink from.
Leave some areas untamed: Allow parts of your garden to grow wild to provide nesting and foraging habitats for bees.
Offer shelter: Plant shrubs and trees to provide shelter from wind and rain for bees and their nests.
Limit mulch: Reduce mulch depth to expose bare soil where ground-nesting bees can create nests.
Avoid invasive plants: Remove invasive plant species that can outcompete native plants and disrupt bee habitats.
