Chives are rated in the top 10 for most nectar production (nectar per unit cover per year) in a UK plants survey conducted by the AgriLand project which is supported by the UK Insect Pollinators Initiative. So, great for the bees! Chives have insect-repelling properties that can be used in gardens to control pests.
