Every June, we observe National Pollinator Week by celebrating pollinating animals like bees and butterflies. These pollinators perform a vital service that much of life on earth quite literally could not live without. Pollinators are necessary for the reproduction of over 85% of the world’s flowering plants, including more than two-thirds of the world’s crop species.
In appreciation of this incredible gift, our theme this year is Pollinator Safe: Preventing Pesticides to Protect Pollinators. While we may not be able to say that five times fast, we can share proven tips to reduce or eliminate pesticide use in our homes, plant nurseries, and communities. We hope our staff tips this week inspire a new lifelong habit or two for you. Together, we will build a safer world for pollinators!
