Support for pollinators (bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, flies, beetles, hummingbirds!) is higher than it’s ever been. Those of us who write in support of these critters (including the fabulous Heather Holm, check out her pollinator books on her Pollination Press website) are thrilled that more people want to help them at home, in our communities, and in our wild spaces. I have a lot of blog entries about pollinators, but I know it can be hard to find things. This blog post is a compilation of what I think are some of my best blogs to learn about pollinators and about how to support them in Georgia.
