Florida Tropics Honey Bee Pasture Mix

Our Florida Tropics honey bee pasture mix has been designed to meet the needs of professional beekeepers and hobbyists throughout the tropical climate of southern Florida. This clover-heavy mix contains a large percentage of legumes as well as wildflower species preferred by the honey bee and other beneficial pollinators.

40% Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum)

30% Yellow Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis)

10% White Dutch Clover (Trifolium repens)

10% Alsike Clover (Trifolium hybridum)
