Tomorrow is World Honey Bee Day! World Bee Day shines a light on the habitat of pollinators to improve the conditions for their survival so that bees and other pollinators may thrive. In honor of the honey bees, here are a few things we can do to help bees and other pollinators: 🐝 🌺 🍯
BOOST BEES & POLLINATORS THROUGH THE ENVIRONMENT
-plant more flowers
-choose native flowering plants whenever possible
-maintain a healthy habitat that isn’t overrun with pests
-cultivate a variety of habitats throughout the yard including full shade, partial shade, and sunny parts
-plant a garden
BE RESPONSIBLE WITH PESTICIDES
Anything applied to a landscape can have an impact on the bee population. Some of these effects can be negative, but many can be positive. We have hundreds of accounts that we have been running observational studies on with responsible applications. We have been pleased to see bee populations in the area double and in some cases increase more than 10 fold. The ticket is in reducing the bad and promoting the good with a balanced approach. If you don’t have a background in this area, don’t feel like you need to go back to school to do it right. Consult a professional to ensure the right measures are being taken in the right doses to do the most good.
Rove Pest Control not only strives to improve public health through the reduction of pests that threaten to spread disease but also through promoting the good side of the insect and arachnid worlds.
