List of garden plants to feed honey bees in Canada
This is an alphabetized list of garden plants to feed honey bees in Canada.
Bumblebee populations in Canada are declining and are in danger of going extinct.[1] This list is to help promote expanding the garden plant food sources for bees in Canada.[2] Greenpeace Canada's Shane Moffatt said news of the disappearing bumblebee species should serve as "an important reality check" for the country, "sometimes these things can seem a bit abstract or a bit academic, but this is anything but an abstract issue, the fate of these species is connected to all of our fates."[1]
