POLLINATOR-FRIENDLY NATIVE PLANT LISTSWESTERN BUMBLE BEE
In order to properly identify bumble bees, you need to first determine whether the bee you are examining is male or female. Some scientists consider Bombus occidentalis (the western bumble bee) to be the same species as Bombus terricola (the yellowbanded Bumble bee), whereas others consider them to be two separate species.On this website, we treat these bees as two separate species. TROPICAL MILKWEED—A NO-GROW Tropical milkweed ( Asclepias curassavica) is a non-native milkweed that has exploded in popularity in response to the demand for milkweed. It is simple to propagate, allowing growers to rapidly produce the plant for quick sale.

Fireflies are best known for their showy nighttime displays, but not all fireflies flash at night. The common name “firefly” not only includes familiar flashing species (a.k.a. lightning bugs), but also the more cryptic glow-worms and daytime dark fireflies. Learn more about the fascinating diversity of species that make up the familyLampyridae.

Adult bees, butterflies, and other pollinators require nectar as their primary food source, and female bees collect pollen as food for their offspring. ARKANSAS NRCS POLLINATOR CONSERVATION PLANNING HANDBOOK Arkansas NRCS Pollinator Conservation Planning Handbook. (AR–2020) Adding plant diversity to create and enhance pollinator habitat on farms and in other landscapes benefits broad communities of wildlife by enhancing insect diversity. Besides benefitting farm production, insect diversity is vital for other wildlife—for birds, mammals,fish
PLANTS FOR POLLINATORS: GIANT HYSSOP As it’s generally ignored by rabbits and deer, it may be used as a barrier to keep them away from more sensitive plants. Giant hyssop is a compact plant that forms small colonies. It’s minty aroma has a hint of licorice and it’s an edible herb that can be used in salads and other dishes. It’s PLANTS FOR POLLINATORS: BLAZINGSTAR Just about any blazing star that’s native to your region will be attractive to all manner of pollinators, but L. pilosa, L. scariosa, L. aspera, L. pychnostachya, L. spicata and L. punctata are amongst the species that are recommended as monarch nectar sources on our guide lists.

POLLINATOR CONSERVATION PROGRAM DIGEST In this edition, Hannah Mullally describes a project to create a pollinator habitat demonstration site in the unique conditions of northern Maine, Karin Jokela shares her experience and suggestions for designing conservation seed mixes in Minnesota, and Anna Murray gives a glimpse into habitat planning and monitoring in California. HABITAT ASSESSMENT GUIDES Habitat Assessment Guides. These pollinator habitat assessment guides are designed to help educate conservation planners and landowners, prioritize conservation actions, and quantify habitat or land management improvements for pollinators or beneficial insects on a single site. For more resources visit our Habitat Restoration page. MANAGING HABITAT FOR POLLINATORS Managing Habitat for Pollinators. Meadows and other pollinator plantings can be low-maintenance, but are rarely if ever maintenance-free. Competition from weeds, invasive species, and woody plants can degrade habitat over time if a management plan is not in place. Management tools, such as grazing, fire, and mowing, can be used in a manner that SOIL HEALTH AND BENEFICIAL INSECTS: BEYOND BEES AND Join Stephanie Frischie, Agronomist and Native Plant Materials Specialist with the Xerces Society, for a conservation learning circle with Women 4 the Land.

HABITAT PLANNING FOR BENEFICIAL INSECTS This publication outlines the ecology of many native beneficial insect groups and highlights recommended strategies for conservation biological control. While native predator and parasitoid insects alone may not solve all of a producer’s pest problems, they can be an important part of an Integrated Pest Management system and contribute to reduced need for pesticides over time.LEIF RICHARDSON
