Learn to attract and keep bees

Wild honeybees have all but disappeared from yards across America. Many kinds of butterflies also are becoming scarce. But gardeners have options if they need pollinators to help produce a healthy food supply.

Bee houses can encourage helpful insects

It’s one thing to attract roving honeybees, butterflies or hummingbirds to your flowering plants or trees. It’s another to keep them.
