It's World Bee Day! Where would we be without them?
Ways to protect the bees:
1. Don't use pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides
2. Buy flowers for your garden from nurseries that don't treat them with neonicotinoids. Neonicotinoids are extremely toxic to bees and can cause them to become disoriented and unable to fly.
3. Plant flowers that are native to your area. In Colorado Echinacea, Goldenrod, Bee Balm, Hyssop, Rocky Mountain Penstemon are some great options.
4. Put out bee hotels and water sources.
