The coneflowers have taken over two of my garden flower beds this summer but I am thankful that I can enjoy the beauty of these purple coneflowers.
Not just for their beauty, but for the pollen and nectar these flowers provide for the honey bees. If you look closely, you can see a bee on the coneflower.
The worker bees gather enough nectar to feed their entire colonies.
Another visitor to the coneflowers is a beautiful swallowtail butterfly.
The coneflowers provide nectar for the butterflies too.
They help spread pollen.
Bees, flowers and butterflies just go together and are an important part to our survival.
Thanks for stopping by to see my coneflowers, bees and butterflies - Judy.
