One out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of #pollinators like #bees.

Today for #NationalHoneybeeDay, we celebrate this most extraordinary creature. She is industrious, brave, and dedicated. We could not live without her.

Native, unmanaged pollinators - mainly bees - contribute $3 billion to the value of crops in the U.S.! 🐝

#FunFactFriday: Bumble bees use special baskets found on their legs to carry pollen! Similar to how we use grocery baskets when shopping, #bumblebees use their baskets to collect different types of pollen from the flowers they visit, and then carry it back to their hive for food!

Did you know a swarm of ladybugs is called a loveliness? A Loveliness of Ladybugs. What a fitting name for the sweetest of pollinators.🐞

If you'd like a bag of "Loveliness" you can find one at Cad-Re Feeds and Trinity Greenhouse.

The flowers are blooming, and your garden looks great! But what's this? Aphids!?
Instead of breaking out the bug killer, try nature's method - ladybugs! Not only are they natural pest controllers, but they're also pollinators.🐞

Happy National Pollinator Week!

This bumblebee stopped by to remind us that bees need water in these hot summer months. Don't forget to set some water out for your pollinators!

Day 161 ~ Pollen-deprived bumblebees may speed up plant blooming by biting leaves

Three species of #bumblebees use their mouthparts to snip little confetti bits out of plant foliage; more common when there’s a #pollen shortage.

This is why planting your P.O.P. Pollinator Pack is so important!

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 minutes between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So every nectar-rich flower you plant in your garden could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝

The pollinators are out in full force this summer; this bumblebee is enjoying his "pit stop" at a Pollinators Pack!🐝

Happy #FunFactFriday and #WorldEnvironmentDay: Did you know that bumble bees will chew holes in the leaves of plants to prompt quicker flowering? Read about this incredible research at https://t.co/CbNInPJsrx

[PerpetualPollen @PerpetualPollen]

The fur that isn’t fur... The fuzz covering a bee is actually made up of chitin — the same material that comprises her exoskeleton. Unlike mammal fur it exists not to keep her warm, but to trap and transport pollen back to the hive.
