Hello all,
I would like to make a window box filled with small plants that honeybees like. I do have a big garden and all, but this box is going to be under the entrance for my observation hive, and so I would like to be a bit creative with the landing board! I do understand that the bees might not even notice the pollen/nectar right in front of their entrence. Some plants that I have in mind, that i think can live in a window box, are: catnip, aster, marigold, baby's breat, chives, alyssum, poppies, basil, mustard, oregano, anise hyssop(?) and clover. Now if you dont think one of these plants would not live well in a box... please tell me, and if you can think of any other plants that will survive in a window box, could you please tell me? I am not going to cram all of these plants in the box... i will just choose a few. Now that I'm thinking... would this trigger a robbing situation? With the flowers in front of it, and bees coming from many places? Well what do you guys think? Sound good? Or am I just asking for trouble? :-\ Thank you! :-D
Have a great day! :)
