Spring is here and all kinds of bees are looking for flowers to scavenge nectar from and pollinate. Have you ever heard of a seed bomb? Saving bees through seed bombs is fun and easy.

A seed bomb is a rolled-up clay and soil ball filled with seeds that you simply toss out in your yard, garden, or even along roads and highways! When it rains, the clay dissolves into the dirt, and when the conditions are suitable for the seeds to grow, they begin to take root. Plus, the ball protects the seeds from birds and harsh weather conditions until the seeds are ready to germinate. Any seeds can be used such as wildflowers, herbs, or vegetables, but you want to use seeds that grow well in poor soil environments.

Click here to download a simple step-by-step guide for making your own seed bombs. You just need a few ingredients, water, bowls, measuring spoons and a little elbow grease and you’re on your way to saving the bees and making your neighborhood a more beautiful place!
