We all know about the honey bee and pollination - the age old story of the birds and the bees - right?  But there other insects that can be good for our plants?

 

Garden Guides has put together a reference guide that lists the beneficial insects and how you might use them to benefit your garden.

The chart lists the type of insect, which pests it eliminates and how to use them to benefit your garden.  It also suggests including plants rich in nectar such as catnip or dill as feed for the good insects!

Check it out - it’s great information.
