REFLECTION QUESTIONRegenerating Nature Support Local PollinatorsWhy is it important to take care of pollinators? Do you have a favorite pollinator?
Adam Howell 10/07/2022 6:49 AMNot a lot in the garden and food production in general could be done without the power of pollinators. I enjoy bees and butterflies the most, I guess because they are the most visible. Would love to get into beekeeping at some point for the honey and to help pollinate everything in the garden and food forest I'm creating.
