RhododendronsRhododendronsI've been working so hard to make my garden a wildlife friendly place, planting wildlife friendly flowers/plants, putting up nest boxes and insect homes. Didn't even think about the massive rhododendron that's already growing and then I see something about them being toxic to bees! Should I pull it out? It's one of the nicest looking things I've got!
3 chickens - Petal, Hermione and Snowy
Frog crazy Re: RhododendronsPretty sure bees would avoid it if it's bad for them.
My friend loves his bees and yet has a patch of woodland full of rhodies, so I'm sure it will be fine. @Sheldonatsov
My horrible dog's a Twit(ter) Re: RhododendronsWe have over half a dozen Rhodies in our garden hedge. No shortage of bees.
