| Beetles, a lesser known (but important) pollinator |
Happy National Pollinator Week!
On September 21st, 2006 the United States Senate passed a resolution designating the last full week in June as National Pollinator Week. The first Pollinator Week was celebrated 24 - 30 June 2007. The goal of National Pollinator Week is to highlight and celebrate the valuable ecosystem services provided by bees, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, birds, bats and other pollinators. 2017 marks the eleventh year of celebration.
If you would like to know more about National Pollinator Week (and its primary sponsor the Pollinator Partnership) click here.
If you live in mid-Michigan, I have free National Pollinator Week posters (featuring Monarch Butterfly migration) available at the Isabella Conservation District offices at 5979 E. Broadway, Mt. Pleasant. Otherwise, posters can be ordered from the Pollinator Partnership.
