1. Plant Native Flowers - Bees are particularly attracted to native plants, which tend to be well-suited to your local climate and require less water and care. Planting a variety of native flowering plants, including sunflowers and zinnias, can provide bees with nectar and pollen. 

2.  Create a Bee Water Station - Bees need water to survive, but they often drown in traditional birdbaths. To help, you can create a safe watering station by filling a shallow dish or a bird bath with fresh water and placing stones or floating corks in it. This allows bees to land and drink safely.

3. Avoid Pesticides -  Pesticides can be harmful to bees, even those labeled as organic or natural. To keep your garden bee-friendly, avoid using chemicals on plants when they are in bloom or opt for bee-safe alternatives. Instead, focus on natural pest control methods and attract beneficial insects that help keep pest populations in check.
