Your garden sounds really lovely Catherine.
That's the secret -to build a 'corridor' for the bees, with gardens that run from one to the other. It will help tremendously. But it's good to remember that bees are very sensitive to pesticides. That is why they often do better in towns and cities than in the countryside!
Fortunately I have seen lots of wild honey bees here, different types. In my area, they seem okay...(fingers crossed.)
