The WINNER of a Bumblebee Collection from Seedball
(Pack of 3) is Janet Clegg!
Three new tins launched to celebrate the anniversary of the first Seedball tin in 2013. As Seedball’s mission is to help and inspire more people to grow wildflowers in their gardens for pollinators, Seedball wanted to use their anniversary tins to help to raise awareness about three declining British bee species, and the need to keep scattering seed balls!
Each tin contains 20 seed balls, each with approximately 30 bumblebee-friendly wildflower seeds. These make for lovely gardening gifts, bee gifts, eco friendly gifts or mother’s day gifts. They will work well in window boxes, balcony pots, garden beds, wildlife gardens and allotment plots.
It’s time to rewild!
The Short-Haired Bumblebee was declared extinct in 2000, but since 2011 a successful reintroduction project has been underway in Dungeness in Southern England. The project has also been working to protect and improve local wild habitats, which has benefited a number of other local bumblebee species as well. This mix includes 7 super bee friendly flowers: Cornflower, Red Campion, Oxeye Daisy, Wild Marjoram, Viper’s Bugloss, Red Clover and Birdsfoot Trefoil.
The Shrill Carder Bee is one of the UK’s rarest bumblebees, and can only be spotted in a handful of locations in Southern Wales and Southern England. The mix includes 7 super bee friendly flowers: Common Knapweed, Great Burnet, Cowslip, Self Heal, Meadowsweet, Birdsfoot Trefoil and Buttercup.
The Great Yellow Bumblebee’s distribution has declined by 80% in the last 50 years, and can now only be seen in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. The mix includes 7 super bee friendly flowers: Forget-me-not, Corn Marigold, White Campion, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Cornflower, Poppy and Chamomile.
