How to Support Pollinators

Simple, practical actions you can take to create a welcoming habitat for these species

Plant flowers that bloom from early spring to late autumn for continuous nectar

Choose single flowers over doubles-they're easier for pollinators to access

Create sunny, sheltered spots where pollinators can warm up

Avoid pesticides, especially on flowering plants

Leave some bare soil for ground-nesting bees

Build or buy a bee hotel for solitary bees
