Creating a Bee-Friendly Garden

A Few Simple Homemade Devices Can Go a Long Way

“Have you noticed a dearth of pollinators in your garden of late?

starting to make headlines. The loss of bee colonies has far-reaching
consequences. About one third of our crops are pollinated by bees.”

If a beekeeper can interject-use natural stones with some rough surfaces when making a bee waterer. It’s easier for their little feet to grip than smooth glass pebbles, and they like the trace minerals that leach into the water.

Thank you kindly for the addition.
