Elevate your apiary with our Honey Bee Pasture Mix—specially formulated for the valleys and foothills between the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges to the east-flanking Rockies. This clover-heavy blend delivers season-long nectar and pollen to support thriving colonies and robust pollinator populations.

Thoughtfully selected species provide both immediate forage and enduring stands. White Dutch Clover and Yellow Sweet Clover offer early-season nectar and high yield. Alsike Clover extends forage into wetter, cooler periods. Sainfoin adds long-lasting blooms while enriching the soil. Lacy Phacelia and Bluebells ensure late-season pollen and color when other sources decline.

Seeding Rate: 20 lbs per acre
