South-Atlantic Transitional Honey Bee Pasture Mix

Our South Atlantic Transitional honey bee pasture mix has been designed for the transitional zone of the eastern United States, an area that experiences both the hot, humid climate of the South and the cooler temperatures further north. It will provide maximum nectar and pollen amounts throughout the growing season. This clover-heavy mix contains a large percentage of legumes as well as wildflower species preferred by the honey bee and other beneficial pollinators. It also includes perennial and self-seeding annual species for multi-year productivity, and can be used as a green-manure cover crop. Great for both professional beekeepers and hobbyists. This mix produces a pasture that will contain approximately:

30% Yellow Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis)

25% White Dutch Clover (Trifolium repens)

25% Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum)

10% Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia)

5% Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)

5% Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus)

In an effort to help our customers visualize the finished product, note that the percentages listed above are what you can expect the stand to contain once established. For the contents of this seed mix by weight, please contact us to request a digital copy of the seed tag.
