It sounds like an inspiring idea to me. Bees actually do like those flowers mentioned. Forget me nots are lovely flowers. Yes they are hardy and spread, and yes they might not be native to certain areas and crowd out native species...
They certainly spread a lot here in UK, but it is a sea of blue where they grow, and bees and other pollinators love them.
I think this will inspire children, and make them more aware of the problems with bees. I remember being dozy at the breakfast table when I was a child, and read the cereal boxes while I was eating because it was about all I could concentrate on at 7.30 am!
Some cheap seed packets like that work fine. I remember finding a packet of spinach seeds at the back of the drawer once, and the expiry date was 10 years past! But they grew perfectly well.
