Under the theme “Bee engaged in pollinator-friendly agricultural production”, #WorldBeeDay2023 calls for global action to support pollinator-friendly agricultural production and highlights the importance of protecting bees and other pollinators, particularly through evidence-based agricultural production practices.

All black Carpenter Bees (Xylocopa) in the garden. They go nuts for the sage we have (Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips'). Zero pesticide + organic native garden = polinator heaven. Given our climate the sage blooms almost 10 months out of the year #nature #NaturePhotography #bee #bees #carpernterbees #insects #bugs #garden #polinators #organic #blackandwhite

@remotelygrace For me #NativePlants #Polinators #ClimateChange I was a traditional gardener before I moved here 17 yrs. ago. Wanting privacy I read up on hedgerows that led to my interest in local ecosystems and #WildlifeGardening. Current project is removing my front lawn for new beds. #Rewilding Cost is an issue for me so I raise many from seed and use garden club plant swaps and sales. Here in Ohio, county soil and park districts run great sales in spring and offer many native plants.

This is where we ended around early June. Looking back through the yard from the original shot. We harvested more than I thought we could given the terrible nature of the soil. I'm going with no dig philosophy for now, building up layers of compost and mulch. #garden #polinators #cottagegarden #gardening #zone3 #nodig #canada

On the benefits of having #ivy grow up your walls.
(Aesthetics, #insulation #wildlife habitat, forage for #polinators )
The idea that it will damage walls has been refuted (in most circumstances)
Our experience is it’s best not to allow it to climb into gutters (which it blocks) Or over tiled roofs (it pushes tiles apart)
