I'm running low on dandelion seeds for my Pheidole colony and wondered where other ant keepers source their seeds. I looked online and most of what I found are those little packs people use to plant dandelions. Are there any other options?

Way too expensive … that’s like robbery kind of pricing. you can buy pounds of seeds with $15
