Do Just One Thing
While planting pollen-rich flowers is a wonderful way to support pollinators like bees, there are several other simple steps you can take to help. Leave some bare, unmulched patches of soil so ground-nesting bees can dig their tunnels. Provide a small salt lick or a sprinkle of sea salt to supply essential minerals. Plant herbs such as dill, oregano and lavender, and allow them to flower -- this will attract pollinators while giving you fresh herbs to enjoy at home. Finally, place a shallow dish filled with fresh water and pebbles in your garden so bees can land safely and drink without the risk of drowning.
