Save the Bees
"If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live." ` Maurice Maeterlinck, The Life of Bees
ways you can help save the bees
Plant Native Wildflowers! Native plants provide food for local bee populations. Visit the Colorado Native Plant Society to learn more about bee-friendly choices that will grow in your region.
Skip the Pesticides! Harsh chemicals, herbicides, and insecticides are extremely toxic to pollinators. Learn how to make your own Natural Weed Killers without harsh chemicals here!
Leave Messy Areas! According to The Bee Conservancy, 70% of native bees nest underground. By leaving some bare or unmulched soil in your yard, you can give these pollinators a safe place to nest.
Reduce Lawn Mowing! By reducing the number of times you mow, you allow clover and dandelions the opportunity to bloom. Honeybees use dandelions to build their colonies in the early spring.
