World Bee Day

Date(s)

May 20th is World Bee Day!

Did you know that North America is home to 4000 native bee species? Native bees are vital to a healthy ecosystem and are excellent pollinators for wild and cultivated crops.

You can encourage native bees to visit your garden by following a few easy steps:

  • planting native plants
  • avoiding the use of pesticides and
  • leaving your garden “messy” in the fall
