Nectar-producing Harmony Blend for Bees Type 2 - 1 kg

Nectar-Rich Blend Harmony for Bees, Annual Type 2 – 1 kg

Do you want to ensure a steady nectar flow for your colonies, support their condition, and at the same time achieve a better honey yield? The Annual Nectar-Rich Blend Harmony (Type 2) is a well-designed combination of five highly nectariferous and polleniferous plants. It transforms an open area into an attractive forage for honey bees and other pollinators, especially in summer, when blooming often declines and a dearth period threatens.

Blend Composition and the Role of Individual Crops

The blend is formulated to provide bees with abundant nectar and high-quality pollen throughout the growing season. Each plant in the stand serves its purpose:

Common Buckwheat (40%): Germinates quickly and forms the backbone of the stand. It offers bees an intensive nectar flow and can contribute to the production of the characteristic darker buckwheat honey with a higher mineral content. It attracts bees especially during the morning hours, when nectar secretion is typically at its peak.

Crimson Clover (Incarnate Clover) (20%): A strikingly flowering species with a rich supply of nectar and valuable pollen, which is important for brood nutrition. At the same time, it serves as a beneficial green manure – it helps improve soil conditions and enriches the soil with nitrogen.

Lacy Phacelia (Tansy-Leaved Phacelia) (16%): One of the most sought-after honey plants. Its blossoms provide a large amount of nectar as well as characteristic blue pollen, and bees visit it throughout the entire day. The stand also contributes to improving soil structure and helps suppress weed growth.

Black Medick (12%): An undemanding and resilient crop that copes well even with drier conditions. It helps maintain the food supply during summer heat waves, when other species often produce nectar poorly.

Red Clover (12%): A traditional meadow species with a longer blooming period. Under favorable weather conditions, it can offer bees accessible nectar and thus broadens the foraging opportunities within the stand.

Why Choose the Harmony Blend from a Beekeeper's Perspective

By sowing this blend, you will gain a reliable source of nectar and pollen at a time when the nectar flow in the surrounding landscape may fluctuate. Well-nourished colonies tend to be more vigorous, develop better, cope more easily with stress periods, and create better conditions for successful overwintering. The blend also has a practical impact on the land – it functions as green manure, helps protect the soil, retain moisture, and partially suppress weed growth.
