Bees and Garlic...

[timaye100]

Hi,

Hopefully not too much of a dumb question but...

As of April / May this year, I will bee keeping bees in my cottage garden. I am siting them to one side of my cottage, very close to some beds of strong garlic.

I assume bees don't mind Garlic (I have seen beehives sited amongst wild garlic before).

Any views more than welcome.

Cheers
Tim

Forget the alarm pheromone, just watch out for their breath.

Bees like wild garlic flowers so I don't reckon that'll be a problem. Honey should have an interesting taste!

No problem.
Moreover there is an advantage - the garlic, the onions and the tomatoes keep the ants away from your apiary.
