About Honey Buster Mix
A high-diversity mix designed specifically with honey production in mind, the Honey Buster Mix provides diverse blooms and colors and from early spring all the way through late fall. With 17 wildflowers and 5 high-producing legumes, Honey Bees are sure to feast on this mix all season long. The annual wildflowers and legumes will bloom the first year with increased perennial blooms the second and third year.
Honey bees and other species like bumblebees and leafcutter bees are crucial for pollinating flowers and crops from spring to fall. According to the Univeristy of Nebraska-Lincoln Bee Lab, in North America, there are around 3,500 bee species, which pollinate 95 crops valued at over $20 billion annually. Additionally, honey bee colonies produce more than $200 million worth of honey each year, contributing significantly to the agricultural economy. Our Honey Buster mix was designed with this in mind.
