Don't dig up last year's garden beds just yet folk

Don't dig up last year's garden beds just yet folks, pollinators might still be sleeping in there! 🐝⠀
.⠀
Did you know that we have pollinators like bees and butterflies to thank for 35% of the crops that we grow for food? We need these babies!⠀
.⠀
How can you help? So glad you asked! ⠀
You can try planting pollinator blends in your flower beds, and even putting up a cute little bee house like this one to give solitary bees a safe place to chill and reproduce.⠀
