When starting the chemical protection of plants in gardens and allotments, special attention should be paid to the so-called the bee toxicity class and the bee prevention period. The toxicity class informs about the harmfulness of a given chemical preparation.
Non-chemical weed control methods for bees, and the prevention period tells us how long after the chemical treatment the bees should not come into contact with protected plants. All this information can be found on the label of the plant protection product. When it turns out that the prevention period of a given preparation is 8 hours, the treatment is best performed in the evening.Failure to do so may result in poisoning and subsequent death of bees and other pollinating insects. Bees and bumblebees play a very important role in the ecosystem as pollinators. Therefore, let's choose preparations that have the lowest toxicity class (class: harmful), and surely insects will repay us for it one day. We can also lure wild bees into the garden.
Common dandelion is one of the most troublesome weeds. To combat it, the entire plant should be removed and the flower beds should be lazy with a hoe. However, remember to remove all plants. Avoid trimming plants with a hoe and removing only the above-ground parts of the plant. Stronger plants can grow out of the roots left in the soil. This may be the case with the common dandelion. Dandelion has a thick tap root that goes deep into the soil. It reproduces from seeds and vegetatively, while new plants arise from small root suckers. The same applies to a caution (commonly known as a thistle).This plant, like the dandelion, also produces a deep tap root. One-time excision of plants without removing the root promotes the reproduction of thistle.

In turn, the morning glory forms a deep root in the first year and then it is sensitive to mechanical care. In the second year, it reproduces mainly from underground fragments of roots and stems cut during cultivation. Couch grass spreads in a similar way. When couch grass roots are cut with a hoe, then a small fragment is enough for the plant to rebound. Another non-chemical way to fight weeds is to use the so-called live bedding.
It is worthwhile to restore wild bees to the gardens, which will be natural pollinators
fruit trees. Garden masonry is best suited for this purpose. This wild bee, despite having a sting, does not sting, so do not be afraid that the bees will be aggressive and will not allow you to sit in the garden for a long time.We prepare a nest for the next generations of this useful bee from 20 cm long sections of reed. Then we combine the reed into bunches of about 40-60 stems, squeeze tightly with wire and surround with corrugated cardboard or a plastic plate
artificial. Then place a few prepared nests under the roof, e.g. in a sheltered place in the gazebo. Sooner or later, we can expect a bricklayer to appear in our garden.
