Nectar plants for "Bees"!!!
Wild flowers, trees, flowering herbs and cover crops provide nectar sources for beneficial insects and honey bees which pollinate the plants in our ecosystems, farm crops and gardens. Studies have shown that 80% of food crops are pollinated by wild bees worldwide. Pollinators are worth billions in the human food chain and plant diversity.
We have chosen nectar sources based on our own bee colony (apiary) observations here on the farm.....meaning that the bees have chosen these selections...for YOU!
