Colin Purrington<p>Are there any flowers that Western honey bees avoid? My sister just got several hives and she is worried about the native bee population having nothing left to eat. I'd love to give her a list of plants to seek out for her property. In Central Oregon, so ideally drought-tolerant, too. Thanks for any ideas. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/honey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>honey</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beekeeping</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/honeybees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>honeybees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>entomology</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flowers</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/apiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apiary</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/apis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apis</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insect</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/pollinating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pollinating</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pollinators</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/oregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oregon</span></a></p>
