i sighned up too thxs for sharing
Thanks for the tip. I just signed up!
Thanks. I signed up for seeds from Burts Bees. I have used some of their products. They are wonderful. Great quality.
i am so glad everyone signed up. we all have to do our part as they are precious things to us all
I sent for mine. We have a man in our little town that raises bees so this should help. BEV
I've signed up, too. I have noticed there wasn't as many bees this years as last. I'm very worried.

My seeds arrived today.
I sent off for mine WEEKS ago and still nuttin.
i havent received mine yet either
I haven't gotten mine but I had totally even forgot I sent for them lol
I don't have mine either!! BEV
The Burts Bees website now says they have run out of seeds, having received an overwhelming response to their offer.
:(
I wish I had marked it down when I did it so I would know!
I remembered I had sent it via email to friends and family and I did mine on November 16th.
I sent mine on November 11, I'll bet they are filling by request date. c4
well, I guess I will prob be on the waiting list, if they have one! LOL
The envelope contains maybe a 1/2 teaspoon (total) of a mix of calendula, shasta daisy, lance leaved coreospis, plains coreospis, purple coneflower and sweet william catchfly.
I'll bet there are enough seeds in DGers stashes to make up our own mixes.
Walgreens up the street has a display that says something about Burts Bees.
I didn't check it out.Too many screaming children and their mother yelling at them right in front of the display.
I think it was some kind of chapstick type stuff they were selling.
If I can make a quick excape next time I go there I'll see what it says.
I hate people who take a ton of kids shopping and then aren't able to control the little brats.You'de think they would know that the brats will run around wild then have a tantrum when each one doesn't get whatever it is they want their mother to buy them.It only happened a million other times before.
Maybe they need some of Burts bees to pay them a visit....a couple thousand bees will give them something to scream about.
Smoke, Burts Bees has a whole line of products, you can buy them lots of places besides their website (free shipping right now).
My Burts Bees free seed offer came today. Three nice packages of mixes that Cathy4 mentioned above. Ilike the fact that this mix contains no grass fillers.
You are the second person that posted that they received theirs today, so maybe they are back on track and sending out the rest. I haven't received mine yet!
I wasn't expecting three packages. I hope I didn't get someone elses. Or maybe they are making up for the long delay.
The other person said they got two, so who knows! LOL
Well maybe I'll hold on to one for a pass-along package just in case someone gets left out.
When did you sign up? I signed up on November 17th, and I think the other person said they did after that, but got theirs today...
I got 2 packs in the mail today. I signed up on November 18.
It had to be around the 26th of Nov. because I had tried to signup on the 17th (I was on mamajacks' thread) but the website was having problems.
Maybe mine will be here on Monday then. :)
Two packs, Bonheur? Ut-oh, Mistygardener, I'm putting one of my three packs in the mail to you Monday! LOL
Yes, I think I had to try it twice to get it to work if I remember correctly. They may have had so much attention it was bombing the sight! LOL
LOL You do that then I will get 3 packs, too and have to pass yours and another one on to someone else! HE HE HE We might start a chain reaction here! LOL
That's called "Honey Spread". LOL
LOL Cordeledawg!
I know I had tried twice, too. I didn't really expect any because it didn't seem to work - I put my info in, but when I hit enter it didn't acknowledge it or say it was accepted. Everything I had typed just disappeared. So I tried it a second time & the same thing happened, so I just gave up. I guess it had really accepted it both times! Isn't Monday a holiday (Martin Luther King Day)? I wouldn't be surprised if everyone starts getting them next week. Or maybe they're sending them by planting zones (except Cathy4). Cordeledawg, you and I are both in the deep south, so maybe they had so many requests, they decided to start sending them to the people who would first be able to plant them. The directions do say to plant after danger of frost.
Bonheur, you could have hit it right on the nose, other than cathy4. :)
I signed up sometime in Nov. I got mine today so all will probably get them. Good luck. BEV
