Bee Fight! (June 2008)

What happens when two native pollinators go to the same flower? Here, a bumble bee defends it's turf from a honey bee.

In Fall 2008, New York Sea Grant released a free two-page fact sheet, "Native Plants and Pollinators."

Loss of native habitats is a major concern in rapidly developing areas. Homeowners and others can help by incorporating native plants into their landscapes. This fact sheet is for homeowners and others interested in using native plants and helping to provide habitat for native pollinators which are threatened by loss of natural areas.
