As the days get longer and warmer, nature awakens from its slumber, bringing vibrant blooms and pollinators back into our backyards and gardens! 🐝🌷 I’m sure many of us are feeling that spring cleaning itch both in and outside our homes🏡

Here are some simple ways you can help ensure pollinators in your yard this coming season:

1. Plant Native Flowers: Choose native plants that bloom at different times throughout the spring and summer to provide a continuous food source for pollinators. 🌻🌺

2. Create Pollinator Gardens: Dedicate a small patch of your garden to be a pollinator haven. Incorporate a mix of flowering plants, shrubs, and trees to attract a variety of species. 🌳🌸

3. Avoid Pesticides: Say no to harmful chemicals! Use organic methods to protect your plants while keeping our pollinator friends safe. 🌱🚫

5. Leave Some Areas Wild: Allow parts of your garden to grow naturally. Wild areas provide essential habitats and food sources for pollinators. 🌾🐝

How do you promote native pollinators? Leave it down in the comments below. Let’s make this spring a season of growth and gratitude for our small companions. Together, we can create a more inviting environment for these amazing creatures! 🌍💚

Queen bees are cooler than we think! 🐝

While majority of bumblebees in a colony die off during winter, including the workers, drones, and the old queen—a new queen is getting ready to take her place.

She spends her winter resting in an underground burrow "diapausing" (insect version of hibernating), preparing for her busy spring making a new colony. 🕳️

Just when we thought they couldn't BEE any cooler, a recent discovery found that queen bees—normally a terrestrial insect—can breath and survive under water for up to a week during the diapause cycle.
