Space even in the smallest space – from the barren balcony to the perfect bee pasture

Even if you don't have a lot of space on a balcony, you can still help bees. Even a herb flower box on the window sim gives you delicious fresh herbs for the kitchen and bees a small bee pasture. Love bees

  • Mint
  • Chives
  • Sage
  • Oregano
  • Thyme
  • Parsley 

Do not harvest some of the plants before flowering. This is how they become a popular source of food.

Balcony gardeners can rely on a varied mix of one-year-old summer flowers, herbs, perennials and exotics. Vanilla flower, zinnie, snowflake flower or fan flower are just as welcome to bees as lavender, thyme or basil. If you sow yourself, you will find great wildflower mixtures especially for bees in the trade.

We would like to point out once again that the available area for the own bee protection is completely irrelevant. Although the area may be small, it is used properly a great help for the bees.

Even with a seasonal, so entertaining planting, you do something good for the bees. Especially when it comes to plants for balconies or terraces, many resort to flower-rich one-year-olds. They usually provide bees with food for the summer months. To mention here:

  • Marigold
  • Cornflower
  • Gossip poppy
  • Bee lover

On the sunny terrace are also scented nettles, bearded flower, ysop, rose rose, ornamental leeks, bellflowers or man's litter hot swarms.
