Bees love it, but be careful with Lavender! I keeps smelling nice and attracting bees and bumblebees even after there is no nectar left, so they sometimes die of exhaustion looking for it. I have a lot of lavender in my garden and always make sure to cut it when i see the first dead bumblebee. Just learned that recently though and I’m not sure if it’s like that with all types of lavender and maybe it’s just a problem where I live because lavender isn’t native here.

Thanks for the heads up. I only have this one pot and a variety of other herbs and plants so hopefully I won’t hurt the poor bees.
Then it shouldn’t be(e) a problem. I just have to much lavender, i guess.
