BEEKEEPER'S MIX
Description
Native plants are a no-brainer for attracting pollinators, but did you know honeybees love them too?! The best plants for honey bees deliver a good supply of sugary nectar and protein-rich pollen. Natives are often capable of providing this and more! Support your bees from early spring through the end of fall, and add ecological value to your property at the same time. This mix is made up of native forbs that the beekeepers at Pinelands Nursery have seen the most honeybees buzzing around on.
