A fantastic mix of flower seeds to attract bees all season
long. The meadow will provide both pollen and nectar to maintain hive
health. All the flowers chosen produce high quality pollen. There are
no brassicas in the mix. Although brassicas produce a lot of pollen the
full grown plants are very vigorous and will out compete the other
flowers. Brassica rich honey also crystallizes very quickly making
extraction a problem. Our Bee Meadow perennial mix contains 22
different varieties - enough for even the most fussy of bees!
