Ever wondered why bees often favour purple or blue flowers?
A bee’s eyesight is most sensitive to green and blue, and they see red as black; not the most attractive colour when your searching for an appetising meal!
However, they are also adapted to see ultra-violet, so red flowers have developed a clever way of enticing bees to pollinate them; they provide ultra-violet landing strips to guide bees in! So, if you want to encourage bees in your garden, chose their favourite shades; purple and blue.
Little can top the harmony of colours displayed when bumblebees visit lavender flowers; the vivid colours are a feast for the eyes, and the senses, as their buzz-pollination releases the fragrant smell of lavender.
This watercolour painting is intricately detailed, and will add an explosion of colour to any space.
Printed on 100% Cotton, Fine Art Paper, with vegetable inks, this giclee print is available in several sizes.
