While many people automatically think of the domesticated hive-minded honey bees as pollinators, there are many native solitary bees that help our gardens, farms, and natural ecosystems thrive.
This mix of annuals and perennials supports a diverse community of bees including black sweat bees, Eastern bumblebees, long horned bees, pure gold-green sweat bees, and mining bees. Bee a friend to all the bees by planting this bee-autiful flower mix. Contains a rotating mix of annual and perennial species, such as Echinacea, Lance-leaved Coreopsis, Lacy Phacelia, Globe Gilia, Siberian Wallflower, China Aster, Sweet Alyssum, California Poppy, Plains Coreopsis, Bergamot, New England Aster, Purple Giant Hyssop, Chinese Forget-me-not, Smooth Penstemon, Fleabane Daisy, and Corn Poppy.
Growing instruction: Broadcast seed evenly into a well-prepared, weed-free bed around last frost date. Packet covers an area of approximately 30' square in size. Rake in lightly, and keep watered until germination. When seedlings set true leaves, thin to about 6-12" apart. This mix contains a combination of perennials and self-sowing annuals. Some varieties will bloom now; the full mix will appear in the second year.

WE'RE ON A MISSION...
Real Beekeepers. Real Honey. Taste The Difference.
My beekeeping journey began over 12 years ago with my oldest daughter begging for a dog, which led us to getting baby chickens instead, then honey bees were added to our urban backyard farm and the rest is history. We're urban NYC beekeepers with a mission to help save the bees and other pollinators by donating to organizations that help save the bees and establish local pollinator gardens. Bees have been declining at an alarming rate which can impact the global food supply as bees are essential in pollination. Our honey is pure and raw and sourced from either our own local hives or small apiaries, like us, from around the country. We believe in sustainable beekeeping, supporting small local beekeepers who in turn work with small local family farms to help pollinate their crops and bring you real, delicious honey.
