Questions? Contact us at growing@davey.com NEW BUZZ @ ENDANGERED BEES The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has just added the rusty patched bumblebee to its Endangered Species Act (ESA) list. Found in more than a dozen Midwestern and northern states, it is the first bumblebee to make the list. Like all pollinators, you can do your part to help protect them. • PLANT A FLOWERING SHRUB OR GARDEN. Rusty patched bumblebees need a constant source of food from April through October. • PROTECT BRUSHY AREAS. Natural areas are perfect for bees to nest. • INCLUDE NATIVE PLANTS IN YOUR LANDSCAPE. Bees love bright white, yellow and blue flowers with fresh, mild and pleasant aromas. Are you doing your part to help the bees? Do you have a beautiful pollinator garden or habitat? Send us a photo of your "bee- utiful" haven for our flower-loving friends! Email us at growing@davey.com or post to FB using #GrowingTogetherBees Learn more about pollinators on our blog.
