The native pollen specialist bees, bees that require the pollen of specific groups of plants, are not often thought about when designing pollinator gardens. These bees are diverse, and their pollen needs vary greatly, but there are certain groups of plants that support the most species of these interesting native bees. By incorporating these plants into your pollinator garden, you can help these specialist bees and at the same time, other pollinators. Many of the plants these specialist bees require for pollen are also incredible caterpillar host plants with some hosting up to 100 species of caterpillars.
