Plants for Beekeeping is an essential reference for beekeepers, agrologists, botanist and gardeners who wish to know which plants are attractive to honeybees, where they will bloom and the nature of the nectar produced.
Many of the 450 plants described are also beneficial forage for many native bees and other pollinators.
Although this book is written with a honeybee focus, it will also be of interest to anyone keen to support our valuable native pollinators.
