Excerpt from "How to make a bee-friendly garden" [in the #UK]
#BBCGardenersWorld Magazine
Published: Tuesday, 31 May 2022"Grow 'woolly' plants
Wool carder bees are one of the UK's largest #SolitaryBees , and they get their name from their practise of collecting hairs from plant leaves and stems, in order to build the cells within their nests. The plants you can grow to provide the 'wool' include #LambsEars (#Stachys) and #mullein (#Verbascum) species."
