Plant these 11 wildflowers to create a bee motorway in your garden

Create a haven for wildlife in your garden this summer by planting delicious bee-friendly wildflowers. From daisies to poppies, there are plenty of pollen-rich flowers for bees and butterflies to feast on.

Insect charity Buglife has launched a new plan to help pollinating insects by creating a "bee motorway" across the UK. Landowners have been planting connecting highways for bees to enjoy, but they are now asking for farmers, councils and households with gardens to also get involved.

"In your own back garden, having more bees will improve your crops, as they'll be pollinating the flowers for you! Many wildflowers also depend on the bees for pollination, so by growing more you'll certainly be doing your bit," Michael Perry, Rowse Gardening Expert, says.
