How to help pollinators
Plant for pollinators: Grow a variety of plants, including native wildflowers and those that bloom across different seasons, to provide consistent food and shelter.
Provide shelter: Create safe spaces for pollinators by installing a "bee hotel" for solitary bees, which should be located off the ground and in a spot with morning sun.
Avoid pesticides: Reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides, as they can harm and kill pollinators and also remove essential food plants from their environment.
Maintain existing plants: Don't immediately remove dead plants, as they can provide valuable food and cover for wildlife and overwintering insects.
Support conservation efforts: Get involved with local organizations that work to protect pollinators and restore habitats.

Why pollination is so important
Food production: A significant portion of the world's crops, including fruits like apples and berries, as well as vegetables, rely on animal pollination.
Ecosystem health: Pollination is crucial for the reproduction of most flowering plants, which are the foundation of our ecosystem and provide food and shelter for other species.
Biodiversity: By supporting pollinators, you help maintain biodiversity, which is vital for a healthy planet and a healthy environment for us all.
