Pollinator Resources
Resources to Support Our Pollinators
Pollinators are essential to our ecosystems and our food system. Here’s how you can support native pollinators in Maine:
- Protect bees from pesticides by limiting or eliminating pesticide use in your garden.
- Provide bees with a sustained food source in your garden by planting a bee-friendly variety of plants that bloom at successive times throughout the season.
- Create bee habitat by providing nesting areas for bees.
- Buy local and organic food to support farmers and producers who use bee-friendly practices.
- Support MOFGA and all the work we do at the state and national level to legislate for change and increase the number of organic farms! Donate today!
