Bees, butterflies and insects play an essential role in pollinating our gardens. They transfer pollen from one flower to another, fertilising plants so they start forming fruits and seeds. The Mr Fothergill's Native Bee Santuary contains a wooden bee house and a sachet of pollinator friendly flower seeds to help attract bees and beneficial insects to your garden. The seed mix is made up of the following varieties: Alyssum (Lobularia maritima), Bergamot (Monarda didyma), Borage (Borago officinalis), Californian Poppy (Eschscholzia californica), Catmint (Nepeta mussinii), Chicory (Cichorium endivia), Clover (Trifolium pratense), Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus), Everlasting Daisy (Rhodanthe chlorocephala), Purple Mullein (Verbascum phoeniceum), Salvia (Salvia sclarea), Seaside Daisy (Erigeron karvinskianus), Swan River Daisy (Brachyscome iberidifolia), Hairy Bush Pea (Pultenaea villosa), Snake Vine (Hibbertia scandens), Golden Everlasting (Xerochrysum bracteatum), and Vetch (Vicia villosa). This bee sanctuary is suited to Australian native solitary bees. It is not a honey hive. This bee sanctuary is coated in a non toxic lacquer/oil for protection making it weatherproof and safe for bees and insects. It is also made of FSC timber, meaning it is responsibly sourced and eco-friendly. It can be painted using non toxic paint.
