About the mix
Our AB1 Bee Mixture is a pollen and nectar rich seed mix designed specifically for the UK Countryside Stewardship Option AB1 (nectar flower mix) and AHL1 schemes. It contains a blend of legumes and wildflowers that flower from late spring through to autumn to support bees, pollinators and beneficial insects while meeting scheme requirements. This mixture helps enhance biodiversity, improve habitat value in field margins and meet ecological focus area (EFA) requirements in agri-environment schemes.
