97% of natural bee and butterfly habitat has been lost in the UK since WW2. 97%. Ninety seven percent. It's frightening and critical.

What are Beebombs?
Beebombs are handmade wildflower seedballs. We make them from sheltering clay and sifted top soil, packed with 1000s of seeds from native wildflower species.
Beebombs need no gardening skill and can be scattered straight onto open ground at any time of the year.
Once scattered, you don't need to water or tend your Beebombs. I tend to say 'cleared ground' as wildflowers are hardy and adaptable but slow growers. This means that they can be out-competed by faster growing grasses and perennial weeds at the critical early stages, so straight onto soil is best if possible.
The soil will help your Beebombs germinate and the clay will protect them as they dissipate.
Lots of sun and rain is of course important, as is time.
Each pack contains thousands of seeds from 18 species of native UK wildflower. We send a detailed info leaflet and there are around 20 handmade pellets in each pack of Beebombs
Perfect year round gifts. Native Wildflower Seedballs to help #bringthebeesback

How to scatter your Beebombs
Our Wildflower Beebombs need no gardening skill, no tilling or sowing in the traditional sense. The seeds are combined with nurturing sifted soil and sheltering local clay to protect them from predators. Just throw your Beebombs onto cleared soil and await the blossom of colour and the return of native bee and butterfly species. Beebombs can be scattered at anytime of year but Autumn and Spring are optimum.
“Very impressed with the packaging and the idea of this product. I bought them as a gift for someone and they are over the moon with them.”

Who's behind
Beebombs?
Ben Davidson; maker, picker, packer and dispatcher of Beebombs. Taken on the farm next to Beebomb lab with my daughter Emily.
Ben Davidson was born in Dorset and after many years abroad and in the hustle of London, returned to bring up his daughter where the rolling green hills meet the sandy beaches of Dorset.
Learning of the tragic decline of bee and butterfly habitat, across the industrialised world, he wanted to find a way to help restore some of the lost meadows of Britain.
Driven by his love for nature and his memories of a childhood spent chasing newts, building camps and generally exploring the ancient heathland of Dorset. Ben both makes and promotes the Beebombs himself. As well as cleaning up afterward.
