Protecting our Pollinators
Protecting our Pollinators
spread the pollen!
Pollinators are SO important to not only our planet but to everything living on it as well. 85% of flowering plant species, including crops, need a pollinator to reproduce. The category of pollinators include more than just bees; butterflies, bats, birds, beetles and other small mammals are also responsible from moving pollen from male flowers to female flowers.
We can take small steps to provide a bit of help to the pollinators still around us:
Eliminate or greatly reduce use of pesticide
Provide clean water for pollinators with a shallow dish or bowl, bees get thirsty too!
Plant these plants:
Sunflower
Echinacea
Bee balm
Milkweed (butterflies lay eggs on the underside of the leaves!)
Goldenrod
Borage
