Make your balcony and garden bee-friendly and enjoy a beautiful sea of flowers. Although over 500 species of bees live in Germany, many of them are threatened because they cannot find enough nesting places or food - or become sick from pesticides.
Not every plant that blooms beautifully helps bees. Exotic flowers are not interesting for Maja and her friends. Others that look beautiful don't provide any food either. Herbs, perennials and shrubs are also popular with beneficial insects.
