Pollinator Spotlight: Bumblebees! - The BEST Plants for Nectar, Pollen and Habitat!

In this video, the whole team is going to be walking you through some of the finest choices you can make when trying to plant for bumblebees! First, Dan will take your through a bumblebee crash course so we can all gain a better understanding of what bumblebees need throughout the year.

Bumblebee populations have been in decline for decades now due to pesticide use and habitat loss. By adding some of these plants to your garden, you'll be encouraging the restoration of the species, while getting to enjoy some gorgeous flowering plants at the same time. It really is a win-win.
