It doesn’t get more dreamy than this freestanding bath in the treetops. The perfect place to unwind.
This is our beautiful room 5 at Torburnlea.
Bees are essential to our survival as they pollinate a large percentage of the crops that we consume. But our bees need all the help that they can get.
Doing a garden audit is a great idea. This enables you to make sure that you have enough plants flowering throughout the year to feed your bees, and it gives you an idea of the nectar and pollen factor of your plants.
Bees need to harvest both nectar and pollen from the plants that they visit. They use the nectar to make honey, and the pollen (with a higher protein and mineral content) to make royal jelly, which feeds the growing larvae and drones.
Plants like this African blue basil / perennial basil are fantastic for bees. It has great pollen and nectar values, and it flowers all year round. A must have for any South African garden.
And don’t forget to have some shallow water around your garden for the bees to have access to.
