The international bee crisis is threatening our global food supply, but this user-friendly field guide shows what you can do to help protect our pollinators. The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation offers browsable profiles of 100 common flowers, herbs, shrubs, and trees that attract bees, butterflies, moths, and hummingbirds. The recommendations are simple: sow seeds for some plants &#x; such as basil, rhododendron, and blueberries &#x; and simply don&#x;t mow down abundant native species, including aster, goldenrod, and milkweed. 100 Plants to Feed the Bees will empower homeowners, landscapers, apartment dwellers &#x; anyone with a scrap of yard or a window box &#x; to protect our pollinators.

Good Read submitted by suresh14ks on July 23, 2019, 4:01pm Informative
Great tool for planning a polinator garden submitted by chrisdearing on July 13, 2020, 10:41pm I found this book useful in planning our pollinator garden. It introduces many plants of which I was unfamiliar, and includes bloom times, flower colors, growth habits and preferred conditions. It also was specific as to which species of pollinators found the plant attractive and which regions of the country it is native.
