Hancock's Bee Seed Mixture is a combination of a bee's favorite pollen and nectar-producing flowers. This bee feed mix includes Dixie Crimson Clover, Yellow Sweet Clover, Berseem Clover, White Dutch Clover, and Buckwheat. These varieties are subject to change depending on seed availability
Dixie Crimson Clover is a reseeding perennial that is preferred by native pollinators and bumble bees. Yellow Sweet Clover and Berseem are favorites among both beekeepers and gardeners for their growing habits and abundant yellow and white flowers. Both are biennial clovers that will produce light, mild honey. White Dutch Clover is a shorter perennial clover, and will bloom on-and-off during the summer months.
Remove all old vegetation to prepare a clean seedbed by means of a rake (lawn) or disc (pasture). Drag or rake area to loosen and level any hard or uneven spots if needed. Apply a slow-release starter fertilizer at the recommended rate of 5 - 10 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.
Broadcast seed at recommended rate. Drag, rake or roll lightly to cover the seed no more than 1/4 in. below surface.

United StatesA lot of the seeds germinated within the first week of planting. Many more germinated a few weeks later! We live in high desert and I planted them in a bedrock garden in garden mix soil. Very happy so far with how many have made it.
United StatesWe needed some ground cover after having some trees cleared. I strewed about some of the Hancock's Bee Seed Mix in April, and then here in Vermont, it snowed... three times. We finally had a streak of warm weather at the end of May, so it appears much of the seed has sprouted and is happily growing. Hopefully it will fill in and be beautiful!
United StatesGreat little expensive but so far good experience
Thank you for the review Dennis!
United StatesHaven't planted yet but if the seed is like the other seed I have purchased in the past it will do just fine. All other seed I have purchased from Hancock germinates and grows with no issues. Smiddy
Wonderful! We love to hear about the amazing success that you get from this seed once it is planted - Thank you for your review!
United StatesClean package arrived in excellent condition in just a couple of days. Planted seeds had very high germination in 2-3 days. Looking forward to getting good crops for bees going through dearth in upcoming months if deer don't get the clover first.
Fantastic! Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We hope you have a great crop this year.
