Guide to Making Seed Balls and Where to Find Seeds

Planting flowers is a great way to support bee populations! Bees get all of their food (nectar to make honey, and pollen) from flowers. Making seed balls is an easy, fun way to plant flowers on the go, but it is important to get native seeds that have not been treated with pesticides, especially neonicotinoids (aka neonics). ! Neonics attack the nervous systems of bees, which can kill bees or cause incredible damage that impairs their immune system and ability to navigate, forage, communicate, and more. The label “pollinator-friendly” sometimes only means “pollinator attractive”, and many plants with that label have tested positive for neonics.
