Worum geht es im Projekt?

The relationship between bees and plants is one of the most interesting and beautiful on our planet.

This kind of relationship is what's known as a 'mutualistic relationship' because both the bees and the plants benefit from it. Flowering plants provide bees with nectar and pollen, which will feed their entire colony. Bees provide flowers with the means to reproduce by spreading pollen in the process called pollination. Without pollination, plants cannot create seeds. Without seeds, there wouldn't be any more plants.

Flowering plants carry the male part of their genetic material in their pollen, when the pollen from one flower is able to reach another flower of the same species, then that plant will be able to form seeds and reproduce. This kind of relationship is what's known as a 'mutualistic relationship' because both the bees and the plants benefit from it. Flowering plants provide bees  Planting flowers helps bees enormously, it's almost impossible to overstate just how important they are to each other because of their special mutualistic relationship. It can also be good to consider when your flowers will bloom. To provide nectar and pollen year-round, it's possible to choose plants that flower at all different times of the year so there is always some available for passing bees. With a good mix of wild flowers, you can have flowers blooming throughout the spring, summer, and autumn.

Flowers for Bees

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..
