Cheerios wants to do something about deteriorating bee colony health by giving out free wildflowers.
The goal has been reached in the US, but that's not stopping them from giving out more!
They're also sending seeds out to Canada! As of now, Canada is only at 59% of their goal. Get on it!
Listen, I don't like bees. But I need them. And so do you. Get some free flowers, spice up your garden, and make some little bees happy.
They need help!

Any thought given to ecosystems and effects of introducing random plants to areas where they aren't native?
iamthisguy247
I ordered my seeds. I'm going to make my own live action Bee Movie!

It's all the pesticides, start there, the plants are the effect after the cause.

I'm there are already enough flowers and trees for bees?!? This is tarded...Colony collapse has nothing to do with flowers.

Just saw this on Facebook and ordered mine. Takes 6-8 weeks to get them. Daughter will like them

TIL that the east of the USA cares much more about bees than the west does.
Ravensaura
Oooh. I'd definitely be interested if they ever decide to expand to Australia. All about that permaculture!
capitano828
I just did this today! Entered to get seeds. They told me 4-6 weeks! Perfect time for going on hikes in the PNW. :)

Last I heard the colony collapse thing was under control and bee populations had risen dramatically. I guess we can always use more?

I guess Maine just said fuck it?

I think Maine is weird about mail-in shit. Or maybe they don't sell cheerios there?

I'm just going to throw this out there, but the bee population is no longer in threat. Has been increasing for years now.

You'll find with simple research that the problem bees were facing was identified and resolved very quickly. Had made a fast recovery

Can Americans get seeds too? I'm driving from Buffalo, NY to Juneau, AK this summer I'd love to plant a seed in every state I pass through.
Yoadriane
You can! It's the first link in the description :)
flautista2013
I'm an American and I was able to order seeds earlier this weekend. I would only advise ordering seeds for your home state though.
sumwisemonk
Good call, I'll do some research before I order for sure

Eyyy! I'm from Buffalo too! Where abouts?

Have you ever read Miss Rumphius?
sumwisemonk
I actually have not
lucindaattheParkview
It's a children's book about leaving your mark on the world. Barbara Cooney. It was one of my favorites. This thread brought it to mind
sumwisemonk
I'll have to check it out for sure

Seeds are really fucking cheap
sumwisemonk
Oh for sure... but free is the ultimate cheap
TsunamiJohn
Can confirm, 20ยข at Walmart.
ITalkAboutGoats
They sell one of those huge box of seeds at dollar trees
SnakesAreAwesome
How much are they?
ITalkAboutGoats
A dollar. Dollar tree is a dollar store, sorry forget that people don't have those stores near them! I love them so much
brassinpocket
You can often buy seed bombs or wildflower pellets at garden centres. Keep in mind state to state it may be illegal to bring them.
sumwisemonk
Good call, I'll definitely do my research before haphazardly planting anything in the ground
brassinpocket
I did get free seeds FROM Cheerios via Veseys seeds mailed to me for the bees. Maybe you can too?
GeorgeGeef
Commercial seeds are usually ok to take across state lines, plants are where you get into trouble, especially after Walmart caused a 1/2

massive tomato blight a couple years ago by sending contaminated plants from one nursery all over the country 2/2
