With abundant native wildflowers, your task is even simpler: don't mow them down! This field guide identifies the plants that honey bees and native bees - as well as butterflies, moths, and hummingbirds - find most nutritious, including flowers, trees, shrubs, herbs, and pasture plants.
With guidance from the Xerces Society, the global authority on insects and other invertebrates, you can turn your backyard, farm, or commumity into a thriving pollinator habitat.
Each plant profile includes which pollinators visit the plant, the quality of honey the nectar produces, when it blooms, how best to use it in the landscape, planting tips, and spectacular photography.

Consumer review about 100 Plants to Save the Bees: The Best Blooms to Nourish and Sustain Native Bees, Honey Bees, and Other Pollinators :
The news is full of reports at the moment about the potentially life changing situation we could find ourselves in if there are no longer any bees. They are vital for pollinating the flowers and some of the food we eat. This book is a good way of letting normal people help do their own little bit to protect the bees going forward and to give them more of a fighting chance. We have a small wildlife garden at the bottom of our house so we have bought some of these plants and are looking to get some more next spring/summer. Nice layout and easy to follow and read.(Read more)
