Understanding pollinators

Introductory website resource

Why pollinators matter

Honeybees move pollen between flowers as they forage. Pollination helps many flowering plants reproduce and connects healthy habitats with agricultural ecosystems.

Look beyond a single crop season

Bees need suitable habitat and floral resources beyond the flowering period of one crop. Native flowering plants, habitat connectivity and ongoing colony care are all parts of a longer-term approach.
