bee pollination pollinator month save the bees

It's National Pollinator Week!

Bees are responsible for pollinating 80 percent of the world's foods; and without bees, we wouldn't be able to serve nearly as much natural foods to our families. This is why we must save the bees.

But, how?

Bees pollinate on certain plants for survival; and when deer eat plants in home gardens, they are taking away the bees need for food and survival. Deer are also taking away plants from our garden (our hard work).

This Pollinator Week, think about starting a bee garden and planting pollinating flowers for bees and other beneficial insects such as butterflies and hummingbirds. Protect all crops and flowerbeds from deer damage with deer fencing and deer-resistant plants such as marigold, lavender, thyme, oregano, sage, rosemary, garlic and pepper.
