Description
Bee Rescue Seed Mix
This includes a colorful combination of wildflowers that will provide nectar and pollen for full-season support of native and introduced bee species. Our “Bee Rescue Mix” has been designed to include the absolute best species to support the health and vitality of a wide range of native pollinators and the honey bee. These flowers attract pollinators and will do well over most growing zones.
Nectar and pollen are necessary for the survival of all pollinators, Edge-to-edge planting of mono-crops and increasing urban and suburban development have Monarch_crophelped in the decline of honey bees and native pollinators. In urban areas flowering plants and trees are replaced with manmade materials and with lawns in suburbia.
Take a little bit of time and effort to plant pollinator-friendly plants, trees, and bushes in your garden, or pots for your patio. Get your neighbors to do the same, making a food corridor for the bees and natives to travel along. Often the plants that these beneficial insects require are also drought-tolerant, native plants that will help reduce your overall water consumption. Choose a selection of plants that will come into bloom at different times of the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Start by planting one of these great wildflower mixes designed specifically for native pollinators and honey bees.

We have used the Bee Rescue Wildflower Mix from BBB Seed and absolutely LOVE it! We were surprised by how easy it was for these flowers to thrive and were amazed by all of the different colors provided throughout the growing season. This mix provided essential pollinator blooms from spring through fall…ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FLOWERS!!! We were also excited to see that they were again blooming this year. This mix is a must have for those looking for a great assortment of hardy flowers as well as those wanting to provide a taste treat to save those pollinators. See for yourself….5 stars!
