How to Help - In the Neighborhood
"We are all Beekeepers. Plant Flowers Keep Bees!"
In The Neighborhood
Did you know there are more than 4,000 species of native bees that live in the United States and Canada? They range from as small as 1/10 of an inch to over an inch. 95% of them are solitary and live in the ground or in wood. Especially the small bees can only go a few blocks without needing a flower to refuel. Through creating pollinator safe neighborhoods, you are helping to supply habitat and jumping off points for these little bees to forage the nectar and pollen they so desperately need.
