Why Flowers Matter—Now More Than Ever

At Farmer’s Bloom, we believe that the beauty of flowers goes far beyond the blooms. Our mission supports both people and the planet, and this winter’s unprecedented honey bee die-off is a sobering reminder of why that matters.

A recent Cornell University study revealed an alarming loss of honey bee colonies across the U.S., with up to 40% perishing in some regions. The causes are complex, including: extreme weather, poor nutrition, disease. One thing is clear: pollinators need our help.

That’s why Farmer’s Bloom provides pollinator-friendly seed to the farmers we work with, helping them grow vibrant fields that not only supply our fresh-cut flowers but also restore vital habitat. These fields improve water quality, support nesting birds, and offer bees and butterflies the nectar-rich plants they depend on.

By supporting Farmer’s Bloom, you’re helping heal landscapes, strengthen ecosystems, and give pollinators a fighting chance.
