A Week To Celebrate Pollinators

How much of what we take for granted in the plant world would disappear without pollinators? 

We probably don't want to find out. 

Problems with bee colony die-offs in recent years pointed out the many things bees and other pollinators make possible. 

Those accomplishments are celebrated duringPollinator Week this week. 

The Oregon Department of Forestry and other agencies offer programs to encourage landowners to provide and improve habitat for pollinators. 

We hear how we can all work on behalf of pollinators.
