C'mon, Native Pollinators

So you want to attract native pollinators to your garden.

The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, based in Portland, Ore., has just published a 380-page book, Attracting Native Pollinators, that encourages you to do just that.

It offers a wealth of information, from identifying common bees of North America to helping you decide the best nectar-and-pollen plants for your garden.

The non-profit Xerces Society earlier announced that its Bumble Bee Garden Kit is available. The kit tells you how to attract bumble bees to your garden.

First the garden kit, then the book.

Bring on the pollinators!
