Pollinators

Just like many other living things today, pollinators are having a rough time. However, since we rely on pollinators for our food supply, their struggle should be of special concern. I have a membership in the Xerces Society, which is concerned with the conservation of invertebrates and their habitat. The organization publishes a fascinating little magazine called Wings.

The Xerces Society has been a champion of pollinators for years. They have several publications for sale and for free at their website. Their newest publication, Attracting Native Pollinators, is available for presale now on their website. I bought my copy and can't wait for it to get here.

Whether you purchase the book or not, look over some of the other downloads and fact sheets and consider improving your yard habitat to support these important invertebrates.
