What you can do
There are many things you can do both in your own backyard and in your community to help bees and pollinators:
You can volunteer for monitoring programs such as the “Pollinator Observer” program run by Pollination Canada. Participants go into their backyards or local parks and observe these fascinating species at work. Participants keep a journal of what they see, which enables scientists to better understand the crucial relationships between pollinators, ecosystems, plant diversity and human activity.
To encourage bumble bees and other pollinators to visit your backyard, you can plant a variety of local native plants that vary in colour, shape and blooming season. Be sure to provide a clean source of water, mud and other nesting sites, and avoid pesticides or insecticides.
