can you confirm that the wildflower seeds from Cheerio’s #BringBackTheBees campaign aren’t invasive species in certain parts of the US?

thanks!

sincerely,
someone who wants to support the bees but also doesn’t want to mess up the environment 

so i’ve already found some info on california poppies from here that they may be potentially invasive in hawaii, alaska, and tennessee :

Friendly reminder that you can’t bring some plants into California (they check you if you’re driving in) because of how specific their plant ecosystem is.

Hi Guys!

So you want to support bees, but Cheerios is giving you invasive species, so you can’t use that.

Then use SEEDLES!

Seedles are little seed balls that plant wildflowers and other bee-friendly plants. They aren’t that expensive, and the best part is they’re unique to your region. They’ve worked to use plants found natively in each part of the US so that you aren’t introducing non-native or invasive species.

This is a perfect addition, almost all of the flowers included in Cheerio’s mix are guaranteed to be invasive somewhere. Cheerio’s and those plant bombs are a misguided attempt at helping when you don’t don’t understand the complexity of native ecosystems. You could end up doing much more damage in the long run if you don’t use native species. 

I checked out Seedle’s website and they make it really easy to divide what flowers you are buying by region, so go get your bee support from there! The bees and their environment will be much happier.

I thought you might be interested in this

Thanks for tagging me, but Seedles is not available for Canada:

Hiya! Unfortunately, we do not ship outside of the United States. We have had challenges with shipping our seed products due to customs. You can learn how to make your own seed bombs on our blog.

Hey Canadians! @allthecanadianpolitics Here is a little reference guide to bee-friendly plants, broken up by province. I’m sure there are more extensive guides out there, but this is a pretty good start.

Not exactly animals but boosting to support folk who want to support bees.

you can adopt a bee hive like how people adopt a tiger and receive bee goodies like honey and seasonal updates on how your bees are doing 

friend could you send us a link to how to do this if you have it? we would like to spread it around

oh my GOD HOW DO I DO THIS PLEASE I WANNA BE A BEE MAMA I WANT UPDATES ON HOW MY BEES ARE DOING

Here’s the link for you my lovelies  –  ‘Adopt a Beehive’ 

If the link doesn’t work, you can go to the British Bee Keepers Association (BBKA) website and look for ‘Adopt a Beehive’ which will take you to their adoption page. They have different hives all over Britain as options! I am so happy that I’m not the only one excited by this discovery! 

thank you for doing that for everyone!

OK this is awesome.

places to do it in the USA!
