A beautifully illustrated book all about bees, full of informative and fun facts, from evolution, Manuka honey, family trees and stingless bees. Written by Hilary Kearney, illustrated by Amy Holliday, and published by Harper Collins.

Accompanied is one of our Seed Ball matchboxes. Each box is 5.8cm x 3.7cm x 1.5cm (like an old small matchbox size), and contains 6 seed balls to grow beautiful wildflowers in a window box, balcony pot or garden bed; this includes Common Toadflax, Cornflower, Cowslip, Meadow Cranesbill, Musk Mallow, Oxeye Daisy and Red Campion. One box will cover 1-2 pots and each seed ball is made up of around 30 seeds. A little card is also included to explain what the balls are and how to use them- they’re incredibly easy to use – simply scatter on top of soil/compost (no digging or expertise required!) and nature will do the rest.
