Happy National Pollinators Week!

(Updated: June 20, 2024, 5:43 a.m.)

Every year, we celebrate and acknowledge our reliance on pollinators for our food supply, as a third of everything we eat directly or indirectly relies on pollinators (mostly bees) for cross pollination, fertilization, and seed- and fruit-set.

For more information, check out this excellent compilation of honey bee and pollinator information from our colleagues at NC State Extension Homegrown.
