Bees and butterflies are essential part in every garden. It is saddening that population of bees and butterflies are on declining trend due to overuse of pesticides sprays. It is a fact that bees and butterflies are most common pollinators that have helped in saving several species of flowers.
It is an alarming fact that we are heading towards environmental crisis. It wouldn't take much time when we reach a stage with this commercialization of use of pesticides and use of other harmful chemicals in to a stage where most of the flora species will extinguish and we will be left with scientifically crafted imaginary plants and flowers.
It is the time for another week for Link up party Garden Affair where you can share your gardening experiences and also share about plants and flowers .It would be exciting for me if you share your views about the above topic in the comments.
You are so right. Here I had a heck of a time finding bees. I planted what ever I could to attract them.
ReplyDeleteDear Arun,
ReplyDeleteyou address important topics. We garden owners still have the possibility, on a small scale, of making our gardens bee-friendly and natural. But we must not stop calling on politicians to create laws to protect nature - worldwide! Thanks for this post!
Have a nice day

Love bee shots!
ReplyDeleteWe have a campaign here for people to get stingless native bees in their gardens and my daughter's school did a project where they 'educated' people in a letter and mail box dropped sunflower seeds with the letter around the neighbour hood. One of the neighbours keeps sending my husband photo updates of the flowers to show her. It's very cute.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to meet new blogging friends!
ReplyDeleteI love all these pictures of flowers!
Take care!
I still haven't found out in which country your garden can be found. The flowers and bees inspire me. Take care, Nicole
ReplyDeleteMy calamansi plant is flowering now and the bees are back.
