Watching bees is so relaxing and addictive for me. The more the bees swarm the lavender, the happier and bigger the lavender becomes. I hope other plants in my garden are benefitting from the constant bee attention. The lavender is so far, the biggest plant I have in the entire yard. Although tomatoes, peppers, squash, and melons have the lavender beat in the amount of space they take up. But the bees aren't busy about those, so I don't have the urge to watch those plants for hours.
