For years, we’ve been trying to get cleome (an ornamental flower) established in our garden. We were told that it’s a great favorite of honeybees. Finally, this year, it’s taken hold and sure enough, the honeybees are all over it. They are not alone, sharing it with native bumblebees and other insects. It is great fun to watch the bees on the delicate flowers. And so beautiful.
