How Can I Help Honey Bees?

  • Avoid using pesticides – insecticides don’t discriminate between insects.
  • Plant pollinator-friendly plants, especially local native ones to provide good sources of nectar and pollen.
  • Create a water source in your yard for pollinators.
  • Encourage others to plant bee-friendly gardens and to avoid pesticides.
  • Donate to PSBA!
