Wildflower Seeds for Pollinating Bees

The Pollinating Bee Attractor Pack combines a specially selected range of wildflower seeds to attract pollinating bees, plus an informative guide.

Over the past 60 years the UK has lost 97% of its species rich wildflower meadows. These native wildflower seeds are a great gift that helps the environment by reintroducing a selection of appropriate native plants. These in turn attract a range of pollinating bees including honey bees, bumblebees and the large family of solitary bees which include mining bees, orchard bees and leafcutter bees. All these pollinators are valuable to the gardener and increasing their numbers will boost pollination of crops, fruit and vegetables. Most species of bee are non-aggressive and their presence in the garden is essential for the pollination of all plants. In fact, without pollinators, the whole food chain would break down and this would eventually affect us.

Encouraging these insects with the flowers of native wild flowers is a great way of helping bees and as well as being beautiful to look at. The seeds may be sown in spring or autumn and one packet is sufficient for 2 Square Metres.
