This is a really good site; it is easy to spot the best plants (some sites list all bee friendly plants and it is hard to prioritise). Also easy to spot, for example, hardy perennials which will be sustainable partly due to the headings and arrangement but also phrases that identify those plants that really survive despite humans and also bee focussed advice – such as planting in sheltered places with sun if possible and also the wisdowm of planting in clumps rather than a bed of just one of a species. Links to a variety of useful info – eg a video suitable for children on making honey.
