It’s National Pollinator Week!
June 21-27, 2010, is National Pollinator Week! To check for events in your area, take this link and scroll down to the “Events in U.S. Region” section to find your state.
Then, get to celebratin’ those pollinators who do so much for us!
If you’re feeling crafty, show your support for native bees by making and installing a bee house or two around your home or garden (especially around your garden, and especially if your garden is free of pollinator-unfriendly pesticides)!
An excellent resource with ideas on creating native bee nesting habitat (for wood-nesting, cavity-nesting, and ground-nesting bees, as well as bumblebees) can be found at this Xerces Society page — just click the green “fact sheet” link for a pdf with detailed instructions.
Three cheers for pollinators! Happy Pollinator Week, everyone!
