Tips to help save the bees:
Plant diverse types of flowers in your landscape. Make sure you have something in bloom from April through the hard freezes of early November. The most critical time for bees is early spring.
Avoid purchasing plants that may have been treated with insecticides which could harm bees and other insects when they collect the plant’s nectar or pollen. Purchase plants that are labeled as neonicotinoid-free or better yet, GO ORGANIC.
