    In what way would anyone of this be inorganic?

    I’ve yet to find anything that the bees love more than drumstick alliums. They’re easy too.

    Fun fact I learned today upon visiting a castle in Yorkshire. Had to share it. Mediaeval people considered bees to be a type of bird. In fact, they applied the term to various forms of beneficial insects. So for example, when aphids were ruining a crop, and ladybirds finally came to eat them, they called them “The birds of our lady” feeling that the virgin mary had sent them. Hence “Lady birds”.

    Lovely. I’ve noticed lots of bumblebees this year ( we always get a lot though) and not so many solitary or honey bees.

    Pollen junkies.

    They like the lavender in my garden. The honey bees like a sniff round my laurel hedging.

    I have a yarden and dahlias & stonecrop flowers are big attractions for the urban bumbles. Love these Allium, beautiful gardening! 💞

    Not sure how the ‘organic’ bit is relevant. I use pesticides and herbicides appropriately and have just as many bees on my alliums.

    I just love the sound of bees buzzing on the flowers when I’m in my garden! 💛

    I wish my alliums would last more than a week before snapping their stems. Even in relatively sheltered areas the sun this year has cooked them.
