Why do our bees love Phacelia?
Often called the “bee plant”, Phacelia is one of the most valuable forage crops for honey bees and other pollinators.
Its delicate purple flowers produce abundant nectar and pollen, attracting bees from dawn until dusk.
🐝 Rich source of nectar
🌸 Long flowering period
🐝 Supports honey bees, bumblebees and other pollinators
🌱 Helps increase biodiversity in the countryside
Our bees are placed right next to Phacelia, as it’s a hive favourite. The nectar gathered from these flowers contributes to a light, delicate honey with subtle floral notes.
As well as supporting pollinators, Phacelia helps create healthy habitats for beneficial insects, making it a valuable plant for both farming and nature.
It’s great to watch thousands of bees working these purple blooms on a summer’s day.
A perfect example of nature and beekeeping working hand in hand. 🍯
