Happy World 🐝 Day!

Happy World Bee Day! 🐝

About 1 out of every 3 bites of food we eat depends on pollinators, and native bees are some of the hardest workers of all. Unlike honey bees, most native bees are solitary, gentle, and evolved alongside our native plants for thousands of years. They pollinate wildflowers, fruits, vegetables, and help keep entire ecosystems healthy.

You can help native bees by planting native flowers, leaving some bare soil and stems for nesting, and avoiding pesticides and herbicides.

"Providing and protecting habitat is essential to supporting pollinators, but using pesticides near pollinator habitat is like hosting a party and poisoning the punch bowl."

We can do better than No Mow May...

The term “No Mow May" seems to imply that helping our pollinators is as simple as that: not mowing. But there are drawbacks.
