Pollinators Welcome Here |
| If bees were to disappear from the earth, humans would have only a handful of crops left. Pollinators (hummingbirds, bees, butterflies) are responsible for one out of every three bites of food humans consume. @CascadianFarm has partnered with @XercesSociety to develop pollinator habitats across the US so we have places for pollinators to thrive. You can help by planting native wildflowers from your region, avoiding pesticide usage and protecting host plants. When shopping, you can purchase bee friendly products that help create an environment of change. Thanks for helping us #savethebees!
HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
From 02/13/19 to 02/26/19, sign up at Your Keweenaw Co-op for a chance to win a pollinator welcome package worth over $100 including a Bee Hotel, Bee Waterer and the Xerces Society Healthy Habitat for Pollinators book.
Make your own Bee Hotel or Bee Waterer.
