Native plants provide essential nectar and pollen for both honeybees and wild solitary pollinators throughout spring, summer, and fall. By choosing regionally suited flora such as milkweed, purple coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and bee balm, you can create resilient landscapes that require less water and actively support local ecosystem health.
