Bees are an essential part to creating a healthy eco-system for all species to survive, including plants, animals and humans. Unfortunately, pollinators and specifically bees are being threatened by the loss of their natural habitat, as well as many other factors. Ardently committed to promoting the health of pollinators as an essential component to creating a sustainable food supply, BBB Seed is pleased to announce the release of its latest product, “Honey Source” wildflower mix designed for honey bees.
The new “Honey Source” Honeybee Wildflower mix was specifically crafted for the beekeeper and honey maker in mind, as well as any type of gardener who wants honey bees to thrive. The blend includes 19 honey bee favorites such as Rockcress, China Aster, Siberian Wallflower, and Rocky Mtn. Penstemon to name a few. These pollinator-friendly species were selected for their honey-enhancing properties.

- Plant a bee-friendly garden:
There is a beautiful synergistic relationship between bees and growing food. By planting one of our bee-friendly wildflower mixes near your food crops, you enhance the entire eco-system, including providing forage for the bees as well as ensuring good pollination for those food crops that need them. Even planting one small planter box or window garden with flowers that are loved by bees can help. Our mixes provide blooms all season long to ensure the bees have plenty of food!
- Garden organically:
Pesticides and herbicides threaten our bee population. Natural cleaners and pest remedies are safer, more effective and less expensive than toxic chemicals. Get rid of the poisons in your cabinets, garages and lawns. By eliminating the use of these toxins in your own garden, you allow for bees to thrive in a safe environment. Vote with your fork! Buy organic produce to help nurture the food systems that take better care of the bees and everything else on this planet.
- Educate and Raise Awareness:
The first step to activate change is education. Let people know about the bee crisis, the very real dangers of widespread pesticide use and our perilous agricultural landscape. The health of our future begins today! By teaching our young ones the value of caring for our favorite pollinator friend, the bee, we ensure that our children today will have the knowledge tomorrow to take care of our bees. Consider exploring some of these great educational tools provided on The Pollinator Partnerships website.
- Donate:
There are many excellent organizations dedicated to supporting the bees. Consider donating, volunteering, or supporting one of these organizations.
