I am in growing zone 5. I have small kids and I want them to be able to play outside without dodging bees. We already have bees building nests or hives around our property, so I would like to grow something that will either entice a predator of bees or will naturally repel them.
My 3 year old was stung on our deck last year, and we have no flowers in our yard currently, so they must be wasps or yellow jackets, how do you tell? To me a bee is a bee, I dont like them.

I want to plant flowers, but don’t want more bees. What can I plant that won’t attract them?

What flowers would best aid with beekeeping?
I’m going to try and keep bees if everything goes according to plan, however I am completely ignorant fo botany, so maybe you could help me out here.
The area where I’d like to keep the bees would be around 47N latitude, in central europe and I was wondering what flowers would be suitable for the climate that would work with the little guys.
It would be nice if the flowers would just take care of themselves without me doing much more than watering and if they could cover a wide area. About a hectare of land is available.
Bees that I’ll be using are called Carnolian (Apis Mellifera Carnica), if that’s any help.
FOR THE LADIES…part2?
What are your thoughts about guys who think they have to buy things for a girl in order to get her attention? Does a guy have to buy his honey bee flowers in order to attract and keep the honey bee?
Why doesn’t my mountain ash get berries?
I have a mountain ash that gets loads of flowers. When the flowers die off, instead of turning to a berry they dry up and fall off. We have plenty of bees and hummingbirds the go to it. Does anyone know what is happening?
