For this video I selected 16 plants growing on my allotment which are much liked by bumblebees, solitary bees and honeybees. All these plants are easy to care for, like sunshine and are happy in normal garden soil. Most are perennial, some biennial or annual. Many of them are also easy to grow from seed.

1. Crocus species (e.g. C. tommasinianus, C. vernus)
2. Primrose (Primula vulgaris)
3. Poppies (e.g. Papaver rhoeas, P. orientale)
