When creating and managing thriving habitats for native bees, many factors such as seasonal phenology, nesting strategies, life cycles, and flower preferences must be considered—and with approximately 3,600 species in North America (north of Mexico), there are many unique aspects to keep in mind when managing successful landscapes for bees. Join pollinator conservationist and author Heather Holm as she explores opportunities to create and manage landscapes to enhance bee diversity including Soft Landings plantings under keystone trees. Learn about plant selection considerations, keystone species for bees, butterflies, and moths, and ways to boost ecosystem functionality in your pollinator planting.
