pollinators

Listed below are some recommendations from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) on both honeybee and pollinator habitat improvements. As we know, pollinators - and bees in particular - have been facing extreme declines in their population numbers. There are a few theories as to what is causing this decline, but habitat loss and overuse of pesticides are thought to be the two main culprits. These handouts are great resources when looking to help to increase the habitat availability for these essential creatures!

Many of the species listed on the native shrubs, trees, wildflowers, and plants for honeybees are available from us at our annual Tree Sale and Wildflower Sale. Check out our offerings this year when it comes time to planning your garden and yard space!
