Virginia Native Plant Society

As National Pollinator Week draws to a close on the 25th, we turn the focus away from the ever-popular butterflies to the hard-working native bees. Bees, just like butterflies, need certain plants to provide food for their young. Like butterflies, some bees can make use of several plant families, but some bees feed their young with a very limited selection of native plants. Sam Droege gave a wonderful talk for us on the subject, linked below. vnps.org/specialist-bees-need-special-plants/
