Honey Bees and WaterWise Gardens
“Bee” WaterWise and protect the honey bees!
Want to help your local honeybee and native bee populations, while cutting back on water use at the same time? Plant a drought-tolerant garden with nectar- and pollen- rich plants! Not only will it provide forage for pollinators, but the plants require less water than lawns, and produce beautiful, fragrant blooms.
