Honey Source Mix

Description

Honey Source Flower Seed Mix

Support honey bees and other beneficial pollinators with our Honey Source Mix, a long-blooming blend of nectar- and pollen-rich annual and perennial wildflowers. Designed to provide a reliable food source throughout the growing season, this mix helps sustain honey bees when natural forage may be limited.

Honey bees play a vital role in agriculture and food production, but habitat loss and reduced floral diversity have made it increasingly difficult for them to find the nutrition they need. By planting pollinator-friendly wildflowers, you can help create valuable habitat while adding beautiful color to your landscape.

This mix is an easy way to support pollinators in containers, gardens, meadows, and larger landscapes. The diverse selection of flowers blooms from spring through fall, providing season-long nourishment for honey bees, native bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects. Many of the species included are also drought-tolerant once established, making them a great choice for water-wise gardening.
