As winter blankets our landscape, the change in weather can pose challenges for our feathered friends. With their natural food sources like insects, berries, and seeds scarce, supplementing their diet becomes crucial. Winter feeding provides essential nutrients, ensuring our backyard birds maintain energy and warmth during winter.
Pollinators such as bees, bats, butterflies, birds, and other insects are essential players in sustaining a healthy environment and ecosystem and are vital contributors to our agricultural sector.
There is widespread global concern for declining populations and the overall health of native pollinators such as bees. Factors such as exposure to pesticides, destruction of natural habitats, and climate change are all factors that pose threats to our native pollinators. Without bees and other pollinators, our agriculture sector and environment would be in big trouble!
