Americans are focused on saving the wrong bees. Large managed honeybee colonies experienced significant declines in the last few years due to parasitic varroa mites, weather, habitat loss, and pesticides. Native bee populations have been declining for decades with little media attention and no protection. Native bees are primary pollinators for crops, flowers, and trees. You can help native bees and pollinators by planting wildflowers and native grasses, avoided pesticides, creating bee or bird waterers, and supporting local regenerative farms. #bees #nativebees #wildflower #meadowscape #honeybee #wildbee #nativegrass #earthday #sustainable #pollinator #pollinators #biodiversity #plants
