It’s no question: Pollinators are critical to life as we know it. But it’s important to stop and think about what we're all fighting for. What exactly defines a pollinator? How is it different from any other animal? Massachusetts is home to at least 365 species of native bees and myriad other pollinators. Each of these has unique requirements, behaviors, and seasonality. But, to truly help pollinators, we need to recognize and understand them.
Pollinators need our help now more than ever. But, with the right knowledge, we can make a difference. With a focus on insect pollinators and pests, we will review the following:
• Common pollinator/pest identification
• Gardening tips to help support our native pollinators
• Modifying our landscape practices to accommodate for insect friends
