Reel Gardening Bee Food Autumn

Keep your garden beautifully buzzing, by planting a healthy, diverse source of food for our planet’s precious honeybees. Reel Gardening has created a Bee Food kit that will flourish in the Autumn months, so you can grow borage, poppies and peas to attract and feed local bee colonies. The seeds are embedded in biodegradable tape to make the process simple and convenient!  

The Reel Gardening Bee Food Autumn kit includes:

• Borage
• Poppy
• Peas

These plants provide local bee colonies with a great natural source of nourishment during the colder months.
