The water feature is surrounded by a series of curved pathways and steps, leading to a central area with a maze-like design made of greenery.

The image features a caterpillar with a striking yellow and black pattern, prominently displayed on a thin green stem. The caterpillar is adorned with numerous black spines along its body, adding to its distinctive appearance. It is positioned in the center of the frame, with its body curved in an S-shape, gripping the stem with its legs. The background is a blurred mix of green foliage, suggesting a natural outdoor setting. The focus is sharp on the caterpillar, highlighting its vivid colors and textures, while the surrounding elements are softly out of focus, emphasizing the caterpillar as the main subject.</p> <p>Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

Looking to support the bees by planting their favorite flowers in your garden this season?

When you imagine bees feeding, mid-summer blooms like sunflowers or bee balm may come to mind. But don’t overlook the early and late bloomers that can feed hungry bees when they first emerge in spring or are furiously trying to fill their larders before winter—when their survival is most at stake.

Whatever your soil type, climate zone, or sun exposure, there are hundreds of bee-friendly annuals and perennials that you can grow in your garden. This list of our favorite 15 flowers is organized loosely by bloom time.

Gardeners know that having bees around is a big help in the garden. Some gardeners even turn to urban beekeeping to attract some industrious pollinators to the yard (and reap the reward: honey). If you’re not quite ready for full-on beekeeping, you can still get in on the game by attracting solitary bees with a mason bee house, which gives mason bees a place to reproduce. These species are usually indigenous, as they aren’t cultivated for their honey production and can still be industrious pollinators.

I finally got around to making this brick bug house from some leftover bricks given to us by a neighbor who was doing some demolition. Still filling it with materials, but the bugs should find it a welcome new addition to the woodland garden.
