Bee Rescue:

This colorful combination of wildflowers will provide nectar and pollen across seasons to support native and introduced bee species. Our “Bee Rescue” Wildflower mix has been designed to include the absolute best species to support the health and vitality of a wide range of native pollinators, as well as the honey bee. These are the flowers that attract the most pollinators and will do well over the most growing zones.

This mix has been field-tested and is known to attract honey bees, bumblebees, and other native bees, including mining bees, leaf-cutter bees, sweat bees, and long-horned bees. Bees will forage on the flowers for nectar and pollen, which in turn provide the bees their needed carbohydrates and protein. Well-nourished bees are more capable of fending off diseases and parasites and are an integral part of sustaining healthy eco-systems.

Honey Source:

A long-blooming mix of beautiful, nectar and pollen-rich annuals and perennials put together just for our Honey Bee friends. Plant this mix to provide vital nutrition for the European Honey Bees. These hard-working pollinators are necessary for our agricultural production and are a major contributor to our food supply. Lack of native nectar and pollen sources between crop rotations can cause stress and starvation that contribute to colony collapse.
