TOP TIPS: 
🌼 VARIETY - Sow a range of species that will flower in spring, mid and late-summer to extend the display. Look for the Asteraceae (daisy family) and Apiaceae (carrot, dill and coriander with umbel shaped flowers) for their high pollen and nectar counts, which attract buzzing bees.
🌷 MIX the seed with river sand - this will help aid in spreading the seed uniformly and helps you see what's been covered.
🌱 SETTLE - Mulch the soil lightly with sugarcane to keep its moisture consistent, this will allow seedlings to emerge.
💧  WEIN off water - Water the soil daily until you see the seedlings sprouting, then reduce the frequency to every other day to encourage deeper growth.
