The blurb;
Spring has sprung - and with it comes the return of our beloved bees. Soon, they’ll be busy hunting out flowers - and they could use our help. The 38 Degrees office team have 60,000 packets of free seeds that need to be planted this spring to provide food and habitats for bees. Will you give our fuzzy friends a helping hand and plant these bee-friendly flowers?
Bees are incredibly important for pollinating our fruit and veg, but wild meadows are in decline and our bees' diets are being affected.Our buzzy little friends need some extra help to ensure they survive and thrive throughout the summer.
And that’s where you come in. Because if we can plant lots of bee-friendly flowers all across the UK, we can provide a bumper harvest for our bees up and down the country.
So can you grab some soil and help make sure that the UK is blossoming with bee-friendly flowers this summer? Just use the button below to sign up if you’d like a FREE pack:

Thanks, I have a little wildflower patch of border, so will sprinkle these there, always a surprise when the flowers grow as I'm never sure what seed mixes I've put in, but they have all been free . The best part is that it looks after itself with hardly any weeding needed :smile:

Looked at my patch today and have absolutely no idea what half he plants are , will have to wait for them to flower and hope to have a more educated guess then. It started because I had planted lots of honesty seeds which look like weeds when they first come up , so I thought if I turned the whole patch over to wildflowers it would save me pulling them up by mistake again :wink:

It's lovely seeing bees hovering around my flowers and I've been after more flowers to encourage them, heat.
