Honey Bees and Colony Collapse Disorder
What if you couldn't grow your favorite perennials, spring or fall bulbs? You couldn't sow your favorite wildflower seeds?
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has killed off one in three honey bee colonies nationwide in the last three years. While most of the press surrounding Colony Collapse Disorder relates to its impact on our food supply, the gardening community also faces a serious threat from this uncured honey bee ailment.
American Meadows shares your concern about CCD and we have provided some resources below that show our commitment to the environment upon which gardeners depend so much. We've also placed a special order for our custom 'Honey Bee Mix' Wildflower Seed Mix. This is not an incurable disorder. Scientists have made great strides in identifying the causes of this alarming disappearance.
