Protect the Pollinators That Help Feed the World: Bees, wasps, butterflies, moths, flies, and some beetles pollinate more than 70 percent of flowering plants, but North America's native pollinators face multiple threats to their health and habitat. The Xerces Society offers a complete action plan of protecting these industrious animals by providing flowering habitat and nesting sites. Providing Healthy Habitats for Pollinators: Supports bountiful farm and garden harvests; Maintains healthy plant communities; Provides food for other wildlife; Beautifies your landscape with flower plants. - Book News
The Xerces Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of pollinators, offers a comprehensive guide to creating inviting habitats for the bees, butterflies, wasps, flies, moths, and beetles who pollinate over 70 percent of North America's flowering plants. Native bees, particularly, are discussed in-depth with information on establishing nesting sites and foraging areas, conservation on farms and in natural areas, and reducing the impact of land management practices on pollinators. Replete with stunning color photographs on every page, the resource includes sample garden plans, regional plant lists for pollinator gardens, a list of butterfly host plants, a pictorial guide to native bees, and extensive additional resources. This impressive reference should prove invaluable to gardeners, orchardists, farmers, park managers, and others responsible for the maintenance of green spaces.
