Great in-depth look at pollinating bees!!

We need state initiatives to create incentives for cities, towns and counties to create more habitat for our native pollinators including pollinator gardens.

It's great to see the footage of not just the bees, but the native plants which support them! One takeaway for me from this video is what Echinacea purpurea looks like! Also, nice footage of a male green sweat bee at 2:03
