Save the Bees Seed

Assorted Genera and species

Item #7020

LARGE PACKET

Annuals, perennials and biennials. Bee populations have declined, but scientists are not sure why. Colony collapse and die-off are serious problems for farmers and gardeners who depend on bees to pollinate many of the fruits and vegetables we eat. Bees are also important to animals and birds that feed on wild berries, nuts and seeds produced by bee-pollinated plants. The variety of colorful blooms in this mix provides plentiful food for many of the over 4000 species of bees that live in the U.S., and are waiting to visit your garden!
