Unfortunately, they are also a deadly trap for beneficial bees.
Geraniums and their impact on bees. Why not plant them?
Geraniums come in many varieties, a their flowers, though beautiful and lush, contain very little pollen. Moreover, some do not have it at all. Despite this, due to their beauty and smell, they attract like a magnet. These, in turn, waste huge amounts of energy to search them, which soon exhausts them. Fatigue can be so great that they do not always manage to return to the hive and die. For this reason, it is best to give up geraniums or make sure that they grow in the close company of melliferous flowers that will bend with pollen.
