Welcome
- Thanks a bunch for visiting Texas Bee Watchers. This website exists to increase awareness about native bees in Texas. You will find photos of native bees, descriptions of bee-friendly plants, and links to information on native bees. In 2011, TBW is challenging all Bee Watchers to plant a Bee-friendly garden. Click 52 Gardens on the Navigation Bar above to find more details about this fun challenge. Be sure to take your time and push all the other little buttons on the navigation bar to find more information about Texas native bees. I appreciate your comments.

Thanks for posting. Where are you located?
My Prairie verbena (Glandularia bipinnatifida) and Purple Prairie Clover (Dalea purpurea) here in Austin are not blooming. Dalea is one of the best bee-friendly plants. During the summer, it will be buzzing with many, many bees.
