Bee Happy Seed Mix

Description

Honey bees have lived with humans for thousands of years, generously sharing their rich, nourishing bounty with us. Beekeepers and researchers support bees because of their vital role in conventional agriculture and production. Both the European honey bee and native bee populations are declining. Little is known about the world of native pollinator bees, wasps, flies, beetles, butterflies, hummingbirds and bats. There are many unanswered questions regarding native pollinator populations and their vital role in sustaining healthy, functioning natural ecosystems. Planting native seeds is one small, but important step in safeguarding the web of life. Many sensible people are now enjoying the adventure, discovery and benefits that come with taking an active role in ecological landscape restoration.

Start a backyard revolution in your lawn, garden or pasture! Sometimes we tend to forget about the smaller things in life that really do make the world go ’round. Just as wildlife has suffered from increased fragmentation of land through urbanization, so have bees, beetles & butterflies. Why the decline in pollinators? Could it be the increased use of pesticides.. or light pollution to the night sky? Whatever the reasons, many organizations are offering helpful information and incentives for people to plant pollinator habitats. The NEW Bee Happy Mix includes 33 wildflowers that produce pollen, nectar, habitat, shelter and safety from predators throughout the year. Planting diverse native wildflowers will benefit native bees and honey bees.
