Tricks & Tips, Gardening for Bees and other Insects. Peter Edwards 11 June 2003. The list below gives a selection of the more important garden plants, shrubs and trees for bees and other insects, but for further reading the following books are particularly good: 'Plants and Beekeeping' by FN Howes (Faber & Faber) - the definitive guide to the major and minor sources of forage for honeybees. 'The Beekeeper's Garden' by Ted Hooper & Mike Taylor (Alphabooks) - gives information on siting hives in the garden as well as a useful list of plants - very readable. 'Garden Plants valuable to Bees' by Ted Hooper (IBRA) 'Bees of the World' by Christopher O'Toole & Anthony Raw (Blandford) - a fascinating guide to the various species of bees - solitary and social, found all around the world. Excellent diagrams showing nesting habits.

The Hawaiian Ecosystems at Risk (HEAR) project is currently funded by the Pacific Basin Information Node (PBIN) of the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) through PIERC (USGS) with support from HCSU (UH-Hilo).
