Get the Buzz on National Pollinator Week!
June 22, 2009 by USFWS
Celebrate National Pollinator Week, June 22-28! View the new video of Service staff and volunteers planting a Demonstration Pollinator Garden at the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, which provides planting tips for your garden. Often we may not notice the hummingbirds, bats, bees and butterflies that carry pollen from one plant to another as they collect nectar. Yet without them, wildlife would have fewer nutritious berries and seeds, and we would miss many fruits, vegetables and nuts. How many pollinators can you find in your yard?
