Designed for the warm humid summers and cold snowy winters of northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, our Great Lakes/New England honey bee pasture mix will provide maximum nectar and pollen amounts throughout the growing season. This clover-heavy mix contains a large percentage of legumes as well as wildflower species preferred by the honey bee and other beneficial pollinators. It also includes perennial and self-seeding annual species for multi-year productivity, and can be used as a green-manure cover crop. Great for both professional beekeepers and hobbyists. This mix produces a pasture that will contain approximately:
40% Alsike Clover (Trifolium hybridum)
20% White Dutch Clover (Trifolium repens)
20% Yellow Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis)
10% Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia)
5% Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)
5% Garden Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus)
