Honeybees get all the attention.
Native bees do most of the real pollination work.

• Honeybees are managed livestock — introduced from Europe and kept by humans
• Native bees include 4,000+ species in North America
• Many native bees pollinate wildflowers and food crops more efficiently
• They support ecosystems honeybees don’t replace
• Their decline happens quietly with almost no headlines

Native-bee support is simple
• Plant native flowers that bloom spring → fall
• Leave some bare ground for ground-nesting bees
• Keep hollow stems and leaf litter through winter
• Stop spraying pesticides and lawn chemicals

“Save the bees” means the bees that evolved here.
Native bees are infrastructure — and they need habitat, not slogans.

Winter garden “cleanup” destroys the exact places beneficial insects survive.
Delaying cleanup protects pollinators, boosts pest control, and strengthens spring growth.

• Hollow stems (coneflower, sunflower, bee balm) shelter native bees through winter
• Leaf litter protects butterfly chrysalises and overwintering adults
• Ladybugs, lacewings, parasitic wasps, and ground beetles sleep in debris layers
• Cutting perennials in winter breaks occupied insect chambers
• Raking leaves removes insulation and safe microhabitats

Best timing
• Leave plants standing from October through early spring
• Keep leaf litter in garden beds as natural mulch
• Do minimal trimming only for safety and access

Spring cleanup rule
• Wait until daytime temps stay above 50–55°F (10–13°C)
• Cut stems 12–15 inches tall so some habitat stays
• Leave cut stems in a quiet corner for late-emerging insects

Delayed cleanup protects pollinators now and builds a stronger garden later.

Not every buzzing insect is a bee—but bees are the ones quietly pollinating much of our food. As habitat shrinks and pesticides take their toll, gardens can become refuges: plant flowers, offer shelter, skip the chemicals. A safer yard for bees is a healthier world for us.
