# Bring the Bees Back with Brewers!

![Artical Header - Beebomb - 1200x300.jpg](https://info.brewers.co.uk/hubfs/Artical%20Header%20-%20Beebomb%20-%201200x300.jpg.png "Artical Header - Beebomb - 1200x300.jpg")

*Decorate your home inside and out with the latest Albany promotion from Brewers. For every 5L of Albany paint bought in-store, you will receive a free bag of Beebombs (whilst stocks last)! We have teamed up with Beebombs.com to #BringTheBeesBack with native wildflower seedballs, handmade in Dorset. Find out more from Ben Davidson, founder of Beebombs below!*

## What are Beebombs?

Each pack of Beebombs contains hundreds of seeds and 18 species of wildflowers. The seeds are mixed with clay powder and locally sourced, unfortified soil. The clay supports and protects the seeds whilst they germinate and spreads them as it breaks down under watering. Seedballs are an ancient method of farming that is less destructive to the wildlife buried in your garden, less labour intensive and increases germination rates.

Seedballs or seedbombs have been used for thousands of years as a natural farming technique and were 're-discovered' by Masanobu Fukuoka, a Japanese government plant scientist who is the forefather of modern natural farming techniques and was an inspirational writer and philosopher on the subject of natural farming. The Fukuoka method is used for making the Beebombs which is universally accepted as the most effective and ethical process.

## What Grows from Beebombs?

We handmake our seedballs from sheltering local clay and sifted compost, packed with a range of native wildflower species' seeds. Almost all our seeds are on the Royal Horticultural Society's 'Perfect for Pollinators' list and we are constantly improving the recipe to ensure you get an aesthetically beautiful and a wildlife enticing garden from your use Beebombs. Wildflowers are little slower growers than many imported plants and flowers. Some will flower in the first year, but most will not come out until the 2nd year. Your patience will be rewarded with a beautiful wildflower meadow, attracting a range of native British pollinators.

The wild flowers included are:

- Yarrow
- Common Knapweed
- Wild Carrot
- Lady’s Bedstraw
- Rough Hawkbit
- Oxeye Daisy

- Ribwort Plantain
- Cowslip
- Self Heal
- Corn Marigold
- Yellow Rattle
- Common Sorrel

- Salad Burnet
- White Campion
- Red Campion
- Common Poppy
- Cornflower
- Corn Chamomile

# How to Beebomb:

Beebombs are designed to ensure creating a diverse and thriving wildflower meadow, could not be easier. Dorset Wildflower Bee Bombs need no gardening skill, no tilling or sowing in the traditional sense. Just throw your Bee Bombs onto cleared soil and await the blossom of colour and return of native bee and butterfly species. I tend to say 'cleared soil' as wildflowers are slow growers compared to grasses and perennial weeds. This means that they can be out-competed at the critical early stages.

In terms of coverage, one pack of Beebombs, covers 21 square foot or 2 square metres.

*When can you Beebomb?*  
Bee Bombs can be scattered throughout the year, the clay protects them until they are ready to germinate. There are diverse opinions on this around the world and many say spring and autumn are particularly good times to start them growing. From experience, it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference in the long run, although I am still testing.   
Around 20% will start flowering in the first year. Biennials and Perennials in the mix will start blossoming in the 2nd year.

## Brewers Bee Adoption

This year we will be working once again with Gwenyn Gruffydd to adopt honeybees. To fulfil our pledge, we are working closely with Gruffydd Rees from Gwenyn Gruffydd, a bee specialist based in the picturesque Carmarthen, South Wales.

The idea behind the adoption plan is to give a helping hand in reducing the decline of these vital pollinators. In preparation, a number of beehives have been set up and will be well looked after by Gruffydd Rees, a beekeeper with over 10 years’ experience and member of the Welsh Beekeepers Association and DASH accredited by the Governments Bee Unit. In addition to the adoption, we are planting some bee friendly trees in community spaces in South Wales to provide a valuable food source for bees and other pollinators in the local area.

## Meet the Beekeeper!

Gwenyn Gruffydd was founded in 2010 when Gruffydd pursued his dream of keeping bees. After attending a bee keeping course one beehive turned into one hundred, now spread over multiple locations in beautiful South Wales over ten years later. Gruffydd breeds Welsh Black Bees and Buckfast Bees for his hives who produce 100% pure, unpasteurised Welsh honey that has won many awards in the past few years. Gruffydd founded Gwenyn Gruffydd with his wife Angharad and their two children Ifan and Llew who are on hand for any honey tasting required!

Their main mission is to produce the highest quality honey whilst also running courses to teach others about beekeeping and growing their bee friendly family through adopting a beehive scheme. Through adopting beehives, beekeepers such as Gruffydd can continue to look after bees which is not only good for the production of wonderful honey, but important for the environment as well, as these vital pollinators are essential for the world we live in.

## Why we need to look after our bees:

- Bees are a pollinating species which help plants such as fruit and crops to grow, not only for the bees themselves but for other animals and humans.
- The variety of different plants bees pollinate also provide habitats and food for a variety of different animals.
- The animals, plants, crops and fruit provide humans with a range of different foods to consume that is required for a healthy, balanced diet, and even the cotton we use for our clothes.
- If we did not have bees, we would not be able to consume the amount of varied foods we need.
- The use of pesticides, habitat loss and climate change are having a detrimental impact on bees resulting in a mass decline in numbers.

## How we can all help our bees:

- Ask the Government to reduce pesticides
- Create a space in your garden for bees to shelter and feed, such as a bee hotel!
- Plant bee friendly flowers
- Learn more about bees
- Support our beekeepers
