  • Provide Forage: Learn how to select a variety of native plants with overlapping bloom times to supply nectar and pollen throughout the growing season.
  • Create Nesting Habitat: Understand how to design spaces that cater to the nesting needs of solitary bees and other pollinators, such as leaving bare soil, installing bee hotels, or preserving dead wood and hollow stems.
  • Avoid Harmful Practices: Gain insight into reducing pesticide use and adopting eco-friendly gardening methods to ensure a safe and supportive environment for pollinators.
