How to Help Our Buzzy, Fuzzy, Friends
Plant Bee-Friendly Flowers
Bumblebees love variety! Grow native wildflowers, herbs, and flowering trees that bloom from early spring to late fall. Even a small balcony garden can feed a bee.
Offer a Bee Water Station
Place a shallow dish of water with pebbles or twigs for bees to land on. It’s like a tiny bee café on a hot day!
Go Organic!
Pesticides, especially neonicotinoids, are harmful to bees. Choose organic gardening methods or bee-safe alternatives. Let your garden be a little wild - it’s better for bees!
Become a Bee Scientist
Join citizen science projects like Bumble Bee Watch. By snapping a photo of a bee and sharing it, you help scientists track and protect endangered species.
Create Nesting Spots
Bumblebees often nest in the ground or under piles of leaves and grass. Leaving a corner of your yard undisturbed can give them a safe place to live.
Share the Buzz
Talk to friends, classmates, or neighbors about how cool and important bumblebees are. The more people who care, the more we can do together.
