BEES ARE IMPORTANT TO OUR GARDENS

When you get your Heirloom Seeds for Spring, you might want to add a few Herb or Flower varieties to Help Attract, Feed and Save Our Bees. They are so important to us, and every plant helps their survival.

Many of your vegetables won't get pollinated, or grow fruit or produce Seed, without Honey Bees visiting your Garden. What is happening is we are losing a big percentage of our Bee population from pesticides commercial farms are using, and in some places the loss of habitat that they feed from.

Bees are equipped with very tiny hairs on their bodies and legs. When a bee lands on a flower, pollen will stick to these hairs, and then when the bee moves to another flower, the pollen gets transferred-- pollinating the bloom. This pollination is required for many Garden Vegetables, such as some okra, beans, squash, cucumbers and many more. With out this pollination most vegetables will never set fruit, and that would be bad news for your garden.

The best way to attract bees to your vegetable garden is to create an environment that bees will enjoy and visit. You can accomplish this by doing several things:

1) DON'T USE PESTICIDES-- Most pesticides are not selective. You are killing off the beneficial bugs along with the pests. Try to grow Organic as possible. Companion Plants are great for this.

2) USE MORE NATIVE PLANTS-- Research suggests native plants are four times more attractive to native bees. They are also usually well adapted to your growing conditions and can thrive with minimum attention. In gardens, heirloom varieties of herbs and perennials can also provide good foraging.

3) CHOOSE SEVERAL COLORS OF FLOWERS--Bees have good color vision to help them find flowers and the nectar and pollen. Flower colors that particularly attract bees are blue, purple, violet, white, and yellow.

4) TRY PLANTING FLOWERS IN CLUMPS-- Flowers clustered into clumps of one species will attract more pollinators than individual plants scattered throughout your Garden.

5) HAVE DIVERSITY OF PLANTS THAT FLOWER ALL YEAR--Most bee species feed on a range of plants through their life cycle. By having several plant species flowering at once, and a succession of plants flowering through spring, summer, and fall, you can support a range of bee species that fly at different times of the season.

6) PLANT WHERE BEES WILL VISIT--Bees favor sunny spots over shade and need some shelter from strong winds.

Also, when your Dandelions pop up in Spring all over the yard, please don't mow them right away, or spray them. They are the Bees first real food after a long Winter, and they need them for sustenance until all the other flowers start to bloom.

A WAY TO GROW ENOUGH TO HELP FEED THE FAMILY

It has become more important than ever for You to be able to grow at least part of what You and Your Family eat on a yearly basis. Big factors are the many chemicals and pesticides used on vegetables and fruits in the grocery stores, the rising food prices we are all seeing, and the instability we have seen throughout the world, and in our own Country. We are in a very uncertain time in our Countries history, and we need to be prepared.

Many Families, like yours, are now growing their own Home Gardens--much like our Grandparents and Great Grandparents
did with their Victory Gardens years ago. They grew their own Food, Saved their Heirloom Seeds, and were very Self-Sufficient.

The chart below gives you a good idea of how much of each Seed variety or plant you will need to grow per person, based on picking and eating them fresh. If you plan on Canning or freezing your Veggies to get thru the year, you will need to plant more. I would suggest you multiply the amount listed by 3 - 4.

Seeds or plants per 100-ft. row is the recommended amount or number to use for proper spacing and growth. Estimated yield per 100-ft. row is based on optimum growth, so it could be different from Family to Family. If you don't plant in 100-ft rows, then you can divide the amounts down to the size you do plant. So if you have a 5' x 4' raised bed ( 20 sq ft ), you would just divide the 100' results by 5 .

FOR OPTIMUM YIELDS, YOU WILL WANT TO:
1) Start Off with fresh viable Heirloom Seeds 2) Use a good Compost/Soil mixture 3) Maintain Fertility 4) Provide enough water 4) Use Mulch 5) Control Pests ( insects, and the furry types) Companion Plants are a good way to control and deter pests, while staying Organic.

Good Healthy HEIRLOOM SEEDS will make all the difference when you need that Big Yield at harvest time. At THE SEED GUY, we have a great Heirloom Seed package that has 60 Heirloom Seed Varieties, 33,000 total Seeds, all Non GMO and Great Sale Pricing at $79. They are all full sized packets.
