The Buzz on Bees in the Kid’s Garden

Flowers (and kids) are beautiful in their own right. But they usually need something to get to that point. They need pollinators. What pollinators are available? The bees are available of course! Here’s some information on bees and how you can bring them to your kid’s garden.


Beneficial Critters

At first glance some creatures and critters of the world seem horrifying. Some are not what they seem. Spiders, snakes and even other animals seem they could be more harmful.


Dangers in the Garden: Insects

We found a one inch millipede in our newspaper curled up. I thought of how millipedes and centipedes are related and how tiny they could be. I explained to the kids that sometimes there are dangers in the garden like a centipede. They may not even realize the dangers.


Dangers in the Garden: Other Pests

There are many other pests and dangers to the garden and your children in addition to insects and wild animals. These are more subtle dangers that could include anything from domestic pets to unseen creatures and even chemicals.


Dangers in the Garden: Wild Animals

Although insects and their kin are the main concerns in most gardens other pests abound with their fury at the edges of the gardens. The furry creatures we commonly call cute, or pets can just as easily do damage to an unprotected garden as well as unsuspecting children.
