Bee and lavender.
Lavender has been known as a fragrant plant since ancient times. It is widely used in folk medicine.
Its wide application is now due to the essential oil extracted from the colors (0.8-1.5%), which is widely used in perfumery, aromatization of soaps, in the production of paints and varnishes, etc.
Lavender color is an insecticide, especially for fighting the moth and in the civilized world shifted the use of naphthalene for domestic purposes.
Lavender is a valuable honey plant. From 1 ha, bees collect 10-18 kg of honey.
A beautiful photo and great reminder. I’ve had good success with growing lavender, and sometimes not so much. One year I want to take time to really focus on growing several plants for their many benefits.
Here, in Bulgaria, nature has given us a mild climate and many herbs and plants. Only to have time to go and enjoy : )))
This is so pretty Georgi Great info as well.
One of my favorite themes is macro photography.
What a stunning photo, love the contrast.
Rather, I like to experiment : )))
