whiskedaway Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 We've just redone our backyard and we're about to start planting some plants. We're going to put in more mature plants to stop the possibility of Akira pulling them up, and we plan to get cheaper hardy plants. However, my main worry is bees, because Akira likes to catch flies and I suspect she'd be the same with bees. As she's alone for a decent part of the day four days a week, I don't want plants that will attract bees because I'm afraid of her eating one and getting stung and no one being around. :D Does anyone have any suggestions on some really dog friendly, bee-free plants?

persephone Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 No... AFAIK all plants have flowers of some sort, - which attract bees .Perhaps there are some which all flower at th e same time ..so you can organise to leave her indoors or something for those weeks?

Scarlet Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 There are ferns, ivys and conifers. Philodendrums and cycads have "flower cones" but I don't think they attract bees. Quite a few hedging plants don't have flowers or don't if you keep them well trimmed. Flaxes and agaves don't flower often and when they do it is usually on long spikes that you could cut off before they open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
