Best Wildflower Mix For Bees

I am in a green belt in Payson, Ut. Zone 6a. I am developing some pasture that will have cattle on it occasionally. My question is what is the best wild flower mix to hydroseed the pasture with for my honey bees to collect pollen from?

Utah bee plants.

I've always had good luck with pollinator mixes available at garden centers. In addition to your local wildflowers try adding buckwheat & clovers to the mix. Bee balm is another good bee plant. Borage. Mexican sunflower. You might want to contact other local beekeepers to see what they grow. Good luck & welcome to permies.

I have been thinking of buying  a pollinator plants blend early this spring to beautify the drab hillside covered with litter and grass by my apartment. I'm just worried the massive amount of pesticides all the landlords here spray would kill any bees it would attract.
Just stop by your local feed store and ask what they recommend? Or possibly contact a seed company that is near you.

The thing about wildflowers in pasture, I would think, is considering the timing of it all.  

In other words, taking into account exactly when ones' herbivores are going to be added to the paddock to mow it down.  And that, of course, depends on the types of existing pasture grasses: cool season vs warm season, as well as frequency of paddock rotation.

So what some folks might want to avoid is paying big $$$ for a mix of annuals, only to have them grazed right as they are about to flower and generate maximum pollen or nectar for the bees; since then they would neither produce bee fodder, nor go to seed, and you'd have to start from scratch every year.

That being said, for a general idea of which flowering plants are great to consider, check out the non-profit Seed Savers Exchange:

You could then examine which flowers are in the mix, and determine which would beeee best for your pasture.

My family planted 5lbs of this seed last in various places with hopes of long term self-sowing and spreading, and the summer flowers were very brilliant.  It includes both annuals and perennials.

Take note, however, that it's meant to be in a managed meadow or border setting, and not mixed into ones' pasture as the original poster desires.  So clover remains most appropriate for pasture systems.

I cannot tell you how much one oldish lady has learned from these young people. Please be vocal in defending your world. I tried my best to be good to the world and it's creatures but not vocal enough. If you do not, the world will continue to be run by the rich and powerful . Our leaders are not afraid of the people. They make money from the connections made while in office and the perks of the job. Like us and the bees and the planet, we are in trouble. The rich can go find another place to live or another planet. They will find a way to go on. We, the people are the ones with the voting power to remove our elected or keep the good ones. Where goes the bees, so do we. Short term goals and conspiracy theories will not work. Take care young ones and fight. You will have to push and shove to get what you know is right. I will continue to try to help but as a famous president said "The torch has been passed to a new generation". I am proud of your actions and your willingness to do more than write to your elected officials. It does not work. Violence, hatred, lies and more..do what is right for you and know that I am sorry to have failed you. Vote. It is the one thing Washington and our state officials fear most. Talk to others about voting and ask them to talk to others. Help people get to the polls. Leo, I tank you for your book and I will try to budget getting a copy. I am planting a pollinator garden near my 40 acres of meadow. I will try to spread the wealth and contact the seed exchange. I must tell you, that if the meadow is not overgrazed, the animals don't seem to bother many wildflowers. If hungry, they eat everything not matter if it is poisonous like buttercups or not..My apple trees and cherries are buzzing with little helpers tight now. I do not use any poisons unless I will not have enough food to feed myself. I did once 7-8 years ago and have learned more ways to care for my garden. The deer however don't believe in sharing at all and I might have to use a solar electric fence to have any apples! God bless and keep all safe. I do know that you have tools to protect yourself and others and that is knowledge. Use your brain to learn what is truth. Look to the experts. Remember the one truth I do know, as a Trauma Nurse for many years. Today is the gift we hold in our hands. We have God given choices and free will to mess up or not . Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Today, is our "PRESENT". A gift to hold dear and cherish.
