Unfortunately our bees are in serious decline, but the good news is you can help increase the amount of bees circulating in your area by planting nectar-rich wildflowers, and the easiest way to do this is by using this bee mat.

Research shows planting wild flowers makes a huge difference to bees, the problem is stopping weeds naturally, without killing bees, and bee mat has been scientifically proven to do just this!

This seed mat is made up of two layers of biodegradable tissue paper with wildflower seeds between them. When laid on to prepared soil and covered with a thin layer of clean soil or compost, the mat will suppress weeds and encourage germination of flower seeds in the mat.

Honey bees and bumble bees love the varieties within this mixture of perennial, annual and biennial wild flower species, as they are a great source of nectar and pollen.

Easy to plant

1. Prepare and level the ground, remove any weeds and stones before planting. (You can easily trim the mat to fit the available area.)

2. Lay the mat flat over the ground and cover with approximately 1 cm of clean soil or compost.

3. Initially water the area thoroughly to ensure the mat is soaked enough to activate germination.

4. Water regularly, especially throughout the warmer summer months.

For best results, place in a warm, sunny location with good drainage. Can also be used in containers and patio tubs. Wait until the risk of frost has passed before planting.
