Native Plants for Native Bees (Pollinators)

The best thing you can do for Bees and pollinators is not use any systemic pesticides or fungicides.

Any item sold to last all season, weed n feed, rose fungicides, any long term protectant is going to effect your bees!!

Don't buy any plants that are raised with them.

 A bit harder because nurseries are rarely organic. 

If it looks perfect it has pesticides on it.

Buy Local. Ask questions.
