Frequently Asked Questions

What plants does Logee's carry that are good for supporting bee colonies?
The nursery stocks a wide range of pollinator-friendly plants including lavender, borage, catmint, and various fruit-bearing shrubs. These varieties offer long bloom windows that keep foraging bees well-fed across multiple seasons.
Can I get advice on setting up a bee-friendly garden alongside a new hive?
Yes, the staff at Logee's are experienced with plant-pollinator relationships and can help you design a planting plan that complements a backyard hive. They'll factor in Connecticut's frost dates and your specific soil conditions.
Does Logee's carry any beekeeping equipment or hive supplies?
The primary focus here is nursery stock and gardening supplies rather than hive hardware. For beekeeping equipment, you'd want to pair a visit here with a stop at a dedicated bee supply retailer.
What's the best time of year to visit if I'm planning a pollinator garden in Danielson?
Early spring is ideal, typically late March through April, when you can get transplants in the ground before the first nectar flows begin. This gives plants time to establish before bees are actively foraging in May and June.
Are there plants at Logee's that help with hive pest management naturally?
Certain aromatic herbs like thyme, oregano, and lemon balm are known to have mild pest-deterrent properties when planted near hives. Staff can point you toward varieties that are both bee-friendly and potentially useful in keeping pests down.
Do you need to be an experienced beekeeper to shop here for apiary-related plants?
Not at all. Logee's serves everyone from total beginners to commercial apiary operators. If you're just starting out and want to build a garden that supports a first hive, they're a practical first stop.
