The Pollinator Bunch do the Blueberry Boogie - Comic 5. Last grid in comic strip reads: Let’s give these bees a hand! You can help pollinators in your community, Plant a pollinator garden! Learn about the native flowers and pollinator species in your area. Many of them have special relationships and depend on each other. Limit use of pesticides. A healthy landscape attracts lots of insects, spiders, and birds that will eat pest species. If you do use a pesticide, look for bee-safe options and follow the instructions for time of day and weather considerations when applying it. Learn more about native species. Did you know honeybees aren’t native to North America? Our native bumble bees, sweat bees, mason bees, and others need help too. Small actions like hanging bee houses can help our native bees. Talk to a friend. Share what you learn with friend. Knowledge is the first step!
