| There is so much you can do this Pollinator Week to honor your favorite pollinators. This week we challenge you to take the pollinator protection pledge. The pledge is part of the Xerces Society’s Bring Back the Pollinators campaign, which is based on four simple principles: Grow pollinator-friendly flowers, provide nest sites, avoid pesticides, and spread the word. With these core values, pollinator conservation can be adapted to any location, whether you tend an urban community garden or a suburban yard, work in a city park or on a farm.
If you have some free time today, don’t miss our live Bug Banter podcast. Our lovely podcast hosts Matthew Shepherd and Rachel Dunham will talk all about bees with Xerces staff: Kass Urban-Mean, Rich Hatfield and Mace Vaughan. Sign up and bring your burning questions about bees. |
