Birds And Bees In Your Garden
Both birds and bees rank high among the important creatures
who assist gardeners in their quest for perfection.
Wise gardeners
 do what they can to attract birds, for they know
that they help to control destructive insects in the garden.
Explore the ways that many organic gardeners have devised
to attract birds and keep them around for as much of the
year as possible.
Certain plants are particularly attractive to birds, and these
species should be kept in mind when planning your garden.
Bees are a must for any orchadist. 
They will take great care
to encourage their presence by avoiding the use of chemical
insectides, all of which are toxic to bees.
One of the cheapest ways to control insects in the garden
is to get a variety of birds to do much of the work.
The best way to attract birds is to put feed out for
them all year round. Provide suitable nesting places
and keep some nesting materials nearby.
Do not forget to keep a supply of fresh water on hand
as they enjoy a bath and a drink, especially near
nesting times when mother does not need to leave
the eggs or baby birds to search for water.
Sunflowers, cosmos, marigolds, asters or poppies
will encourage many weed-seed consumers to remain
around the garden.
If you are looking to attract hummingbirds then plant
honeysuckle, phlox, day lillies, nicotiana, and trumpet
vine. They also love bee balm, which also attracts
pollinating bees.
Insecticides that easily drift from spray planes cause
great harm to bees, they can wipe out entire colonies
across a wide area.
When the nectar contains poison that the bee has been
exposed to, the carrier is quickly affected. Instead of
returning to the hive, the bee attempts to throw off
the effect of the poison and becomes lost or dies
in the field.
It is unlikely that any poison would ever be stored in honey.
