It's Pollinator Week!

Every year, Pollinator Partnership celebrates National Pollinator Week, which helps spread the word about pollinators and how to protect them. Our local UCCE Stanislaus County Master Gardeners have given quite a few classes on this subject, including how to identify pollinators, what native bee pollinators to look for in your garden, butterfly pollinators, and which plants pollinators prefer.

Native (Bee) Pollinators 

Take a quiz on your knowledge of native bee pollinators, learn about the three types of pollinator nesting, and see examples of what types of plants pollinators prefer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOGDSNJJoh8&t=6s
