With the decline in honey bees, a variety of crops are depending more on native bees and other insects (syrphid flies, lacewings, butterflies, etc.) for pollination. There are a number of things you can do to help conserve pollinators in your area:
Conservation Programs: Pollinator Conservation in Minnesota and Wisconsin: A Regional Stakeholders Report (Xerces Society 2010) Protection Nature's Essential Service: The Xerces Society Pollinator Conservation Program (Xerces Society 2010) Types of Pollinators: Wild pollinators of eastern apple orchards and how to conserve them (Cornel University 2012) Pennsylvania Native Bee Survey: Citizen Scientist Pollinator Monitoring Guide (Xerces Society 2008) |
