{"product_id":"121-beekeepers-mix","title":"121: Beekeepers Mix","description":"\u003cp\u003eCurated by Pinelands' own beekeepers from the plants they've watched their honeybees favor most, this mix is built specifically around nectar and pollen value for managed hives, not just wild pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMix Overview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe selection leans on proven honeybee draws - partridge pea, lanceleaf tickseed, and both blue and yellow wild indigo - alongside the milkweed species every pollinator mix depends on for monarch support. The bloom sequence is built to keep forage available from early spring through the end of fall, giving hives a season-long nectar and pollen source rather than a few concentrated bloom windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlantings adjacent to or supporting managed honeybee apiaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral pollinator habitat with a beekeeping-specific species emphasis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarm and homestead plantings where honey production is a goal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended-season forage plantings for commercial or hobbyist beekeepers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Conditions \/ Specification Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun to Part Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSite Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upland sites; adaptable to average, well-drained soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Seeding Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 lbs. per acre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native wildflower blend selected for honeybee forage value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroadcast or drill seed into a prepared, weed-free seedbed in spring or late fall.
