Pollinator Week is here!
Founded by our friends at Pollinator Partnership, this global event celebrates the pollinators that thrive in our gardens, farms, and ecosystems — from bees and butterflies to hummingbirds and beetles.
This year, we’re celebrating with a theme of Discovery. We invite you to discover:
-
Native bees that don’t sting or make honey — but pollinate like champions
-
Small ways to support biodiversity in your backyard or balcony
-
The joy of doing something meaningful for our planet

🌼 Why Native Pollinators Matter
Most people think of honey bees when they hear “bee.” But, the majority of the 4,000+ bee species in North America are solitary, native bees. They don’t live in hives, and they don’t make honey — but they’re some of the most effective pollinators around.
Solitary bees like Summer Leaf Bees and Mason Bees are:
-
Gentle and rarely sting
-
3–5x more efficient than honey bees at pollination
-
Easy to raise in bee-safe houses — no hive required
They also don’t compete with honey bees — they fill important pollination gaps in early spring and hot summer weather.
