520    Now that bees are facing unprecedented levels of die-off 
       caused by a toxic mixture of environmental stresses, a 
       community-based effort is needed to make gardens, fields 
       and landscapes healthy sanctuaries for bees. Just as 
       citizens banded together to produce Victory Gardens to 
       offset the perilous food shortages of World Wars I and II,
       now a similarly vital level of collective effort is needed
       to make our gardens into lifesaving shelters for these 
       essential creatures.   Planning a bee-friendly space can 
       provide a beautiful and bountiful selection of edible 
       crops, native plants and fragrant ornamentals, as well as 
       herbs that have medicinal properties for both pollinators 
       and people. With the help of ten inspiring garden plans 
       and planting guides, Weidenhammer shows how bee-friendly 
       plants can be used in creative combinations for plots and 
       pots of all sizes, and are easily grown by novices and 
       seasoned gardeners alike.
