pollinator habitat

Kevin

I want to plant some pollinator habitat, where can I go to get plant information? does WSU have info for beekeepers on the Palouse? who can I converse with ?
probably looking for fall blooming, but would like to know about all seasons.

Good question. I'm not sure about that. WSU for sure, also, Plants of the Wild out of Tekoa, email Kathy if you can, she knows her stuff. and can probably redirect you if she can't help. https://plantsofthewild.com/

Hi Kevin, here are some nice videos that focus on trees as they provide huge amounts of nectar and pollen for our bees. The trick is to plant a series that provide at different times of the season. Both are by Mike Connor

I have had good success with lavender of all types, mints, sunflowers, zinnias, and winter squash. None of them cost much and once established the lavender needs little care. Mints of course are better in containers or someplace that you don't care if they overrun everything else.
