Bees taking over one bush - advice?
Comments
-
I don't mind bees in the house in many ways but they create such a buzz and racket banging against other windows when they try to get out, it's a pain (many of mine are tilt with limited opening). And they wake up early.
It's only for a few weeks anyway and if it's this hot the flowers will go over more quickly.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing1 -
that is a beautiful plant! i would love it in my garden.
I have alot of 'bee friendly plants and our own beehive the bee's set up themselves' as others have said they very rarely sting, they are a pain if they get into the house. Personally i'd buy a mesh screen for the windows you can get magnetic ones you can take down when it stops flowering.
I will only flower for a few weeks so personally I'd just compromise with the bee's and let them have your garden for a few weeks a year haha. Bees are declining and you've given them a really good source of food, that's a good thing in my book.- May 2021 Grocery Challenge : £198.72 spent / £300 Budget

Knew before I clicked on the picture it was going to be a Ceanothus. On Gardeners Question Time, Pippa Greenwood said that her kids called it the buzzing bush because it got so many bees on it. That is a gorgeous one that you have there.0
