Here at Flowers for Beess, we are very passionate about planting flowers to help bees. So much so that we happily give away wild flower seeds for free to encourage this! But why exactly do we do this and how does planting flowers help the bees?...

Many insects need flowering plants for food and that includes our bee population. Flowers provide all the food bees need to thrive and survive. There are a few exceptions but generally speaking, almost all bee species are social insects. They live in large colonies of up to around 60,000 other bees! How much food is available to them will play a large part in how much the bee colony can grow and stay within healthy numbers, especially over the winter..
