Save the Bees Wildflower Seed Shaker

Saving the bees doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply growing a garden suitable for supporting bee populations is a huge help. Wildflowers are great for providing healthy habitats without a lot of labor on your part. This mix may be sown in the spring or fall seasons. These shakers are crafted to easily spread your wildflower seeds as you walk. For the best results, clear your growing area of weeds. When seedlings are faced with the feat of growing next to established weeds, they struggle to outcompete for growing space and nutrients. After sowing, gently rake the seeds into the soil to maintain good seed-to-soil contact. See our full wildflower growing information page linked above for full care instructions.

Both honey and native bees are facing threats of habitat loss. Without a healthy habitat to thrive, bees are declining in numbers due to increased “land development, pesticide use, and the installation of invasive and genetically modified plants – are destroying essential food, shelter, and nesting sites for bees.” We have partnered with The Bee Conservancy to help with protecting all bees and securing environmental and food justice through education, research, habitat creation, and advocacy. With every purchase of Save the Bees Wildflower Seeds, True Leaf Market will make a special donation to The Bee Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that puts bees first.
