Bee Garden

Bees and biodiversity are two sides of the same coin. On one side there is the bee which, being the most efficient among pollinators, ensures the reproduction of flowering plants enriching ecosystems with many plant varieties.

On the other hand, the green universe provides the bee with all the nutrients necessary to sustain its extremely large and demanding family.

The “Bee Garden” contains four plant species, each important for the life of this important insect.

On the one hand, the flowers in the kit ensure an abundance of nectar and pollen throughout the bee's vegetative cycle (from April to late autumn) and, on the other, the plant pollens contain all the essential amino acids for the health of the entire colony.

The package contains 4 cubes. Each cube contains the seeds of a single plant species in sufficient quantity to grow a 20 cm diameter pot for each plant. The 4 varieties are: coreopsis, phacelia, borage and tagete.

Coreopsis: annual herbaceous plant. Needs lots of sun. Water regularly. Prefers loose, well-drained soil.
SOWING: in September (protect the seedlings) or in March.
FLOWERING: they bloom from May to September.

Faceliae: It is a plant that produces honey and is used for improving the soil. It is also used as an ornamental plant. It has a rapid growth.
SOWING: from March to July.

Borage: An annual herbaceous plant, easy to grow even indoors, it will brighten up our balcony with a myriad of small flowers of a beautiful intense blue that will often be visited by numerous pollinating insects as they are rich in nectar.
SOWING: from February to June, in the sun or partial shade, watering in the hottest periods.
