If you see neat, circular shapes
cut into your leaves,

Some of the herbs are also very bee-friendly. They have a natural affinity with vegetables and many are said to deter insect pests in the garden. Try these herbs:
Also try borage, chives, garlic chives and coriander.
Don’t forget, though, that some people have a life-threatening allergic reaction to bees and bee-stings. Perhaps a cute sign about yours being a ‘bee-friendly garden’ will provide visitors with an appropriate warning.
To encourage native pollinators, plant native flowering plants and try to leave some natural parts of your garden. Areas with unmown grass, native shubs, logs, ponds and rocks all help provide suitable nesting and feeding sites for native insects and other small creatures.
