Great Sunflower Project: In most of the country, it’s time to start gearing up for planting a bee-friendly garden. For very little effort, you can create beautiful habitat for native bees and abundant forage for honey bees. Sunflowers, of course, are the perfect start and, ‘Lemon Queen’ sunflowers are our preferred variety for making your bee observations. http://www.greatsunflower.org/
The Seed Bank has Lemon Queen Sunflower seeds- they donated some for us to plant! Thanks Petaluma Seed Bank!
