Bees Love Chinese Chive Blossoms

By
Industry Observer with Retired

Bees Love Chinese Chive Blossoms

 

One of the advantages of having Chinese Chives, or garlic chives, in your gardens is that they can be used in your Asian dishes and salads.  The late summer blossoms are also very pretty.  Use them as under plantings for hosta and the chive blossoms will rise above the hosta and will still be blooming after the hosta blooms are gone.  And, as you can see from the photographs, the bees love the Chinese Chive blossoms.

Have a great week with your camera in hand.  This photograph was taken in our Kentlands home garden.

It is good to receive your comments.  

Melissa:  I would love to visit San Diego again.  However, I would rather take pictures at the zoo than to photograph houses.  Marketing photographs should have professional attention.

I 'raised' bees back in high school. Really hated robbing them. Loved the honey, hated getting stung!

Thanks for sharing the photo.

Good Morning Roy,  Great picture as always.  I saw a bee up in the Napa Valley around a flower bush, but by the time I got my camera, he flew off.
