I love bees too! Is that why you let your basil to go to flower?

Ooo, I did’t know basil attracted bees like that. I always only plant one next to my tomatoes and marigolds. Might plant more next year then! 😁🐝

I planted a ton of basil this spring and let it all flower. It’s holding on well in the summer heat when there’s not a lot flowering (though I have zinnias too).

I let some catnip flower to bring in more pollinators! And I also grow bronze leaf fennel for the pollinators as well!
