Great Resource for Planting a Pollinator-Friendly Landscape

The first simple step toward protecting our pollinators is to provide the flowers they need, using no pesticides. With abundant native wildflowers, your task is even simpler: don't mow them down! This field guide identifies the plants that honey bees and native bees — as well as butterflies, moths and hummingbirds — find most nutritious, including flowers, trees, shrubs, herbs, and pasture plants. With guidance from the Xerces Society, the global authority on insects and other invertebrates, you can turn your backyard, farm, or community into a thriving pollinator habitat.

Even though the title says "Feed the Bees", that plants are rated for moths, butterflies and hummingbirds, with easy to scan icons for each plant. Well organized, lots of great information -- I'm referencing this book as I am ordering my spring flower seeds! And it's published by the Xerces Society, one of the best organizations for understanding the issues facing our pollinators. So you know the information is good, and you are supporting a great organization by buying it!
I love the layout of this book. It provides information on bees, as well as plants that are good for bees and other pollinators. It also shows where each plant is native, so the reader can focus on plants that grow in their region.

I bought these seeds to go in bundles of packets of vegetable seeds that I will put in the Blessing Box at a church here in town about late January so people who need to can supplement the groceries they buy with a garden. I'm sure they will love them. If my budget stretches that far, I will get some for myself and let you know how I like them. I still have eight bundles worth of packets of seeds to purchase for them first, though.
Appreciate that you have this in bulk quantities. We use this as a rooting hormone and as a potting mix and soil supplement. Kelp meal is rich in minerals and micro-nutrients and contains growth hormones that support healthy root growth.
Helps me keep the ants down on my property. Place outside and keeps ants down even in your house.
I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
