Herb and flowers for 2013

[Southern Gardener]

So pretty, Rabbits!! I can't wait to get started on mine. Lesa, I think I read somewhere that the flower on the bee balm is too deep for the honey bee to reach the nectar, but the bumble bee does just fine.

Rabbits, what a pretty garden! Love all that purple! The funny thing I noticed about my bee balm- is that I never see my honeybees on it. It seems to attract only bumble bees....

Thank you. I do have a lot of bees, but notice bumble bees on the coneflowers and always on the flowers on the comfrey plants.
