July wildlife gardening with Monty

Beekeeping issues

Monty wants to know what has gone wrong with his bees. Find out more as he meets with his beekeeping mentor and they examine his hives.

Growing a wildflower meadow

Monty encourages insects into the garden by leaving a strip of long grass filled with bulbs and herbaceous perennials as a wildlife meadow. In this video clip, he explains how to manage the meadow by cutting in mid to late summer, collecting the grass and sowing wildflower seeds.

Planting flowers for bees

Successional planting gives pollinators like bees access to a steady supply of pollen and nectar through the summer and into autumn. Find out more as Monty adds globe thistle, honeywort and yarrow to the borders.
