Is there a plant you could recommend?

Question

Is there a plant you could recommend that would repel stinging insects (such as bees, wasps, hornets, etc.).

I live in plant hardiness zone 5b.

I have a green thumb so extra attentive plants are fine by me!

Answer 1

bees are beneficial to your garden :)



Basil helps to deter flies and mosquitoes

Answer 2

All flowering plants will attract bees, wasps, hornets, etc due to the pollen.  I recommend foliage plants like hosta and coleus, and trim off the shoot before it flowers.

Answer 3

Marigolds

Answer 4

Southernwood will repel bees..
