HOW CAN YOU HELP BEES AT HOME?
FLOWER POWER
Plant more bee-friendly
flora with different blooming cycles, such as lavender, catmint, borage
and coneflower
HOME SWEET HOME
Place wood with drilled holes in window boxes or leave patches of bare earth — perfect for nests
KEEP IT CLEAN
Bees don’t like toxic chemicals. Reduce — or even better, eliminate — your use of pesticides
