BUZZING GARDENS

By planting a Buzzing Gardens, we can all help to improve the number and quality of honey bee food sources, and support them in feeding their hives.

Just like farmers, honey bees need to be able to feed their communities. One of their biggest challenges, though, is being able to find enough pollen to do it. To help them, we launched the Buzzing Gardens program, dedicated to giving Canadians what they need to set up their own pollinator-friendly gardens.

Buzzing Gardens 2020

Bees Matter is pleased to launch its Buzzing Gardens program for the 2020 season! Spring is finally here, and as we stay home and welcome warm weather from our balconies, backyards, and gardens, it’s time to make the most of our outdoor spaces and plan our gardens for summer.

Please note delivery times may be longer than usual as our Buzzing Gardens partners work hard to deliver your seed kit safely during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Statistics Canada data shows the number of honey bee hives in Canada is on the rise. They still face a number of health issues, however, and one of their major challenges is finding and collecting food. A third of their life is spent flying to find flowers with pollen they can bring back to their hive. Every honey bee contributes, and by pollinating such a diverse range of plants, they also contribute to the success of our communities. Though our crops and gardens provide food for them, we can also help increase the number of nutritious food sources at home!
