๐ณ๐ At the Huasteca Regenerative Agriculture Center we see how a flowering tree attracts bees and life. Pollination helps keep ecosystems in balance and reminds us why planting and caring for trees matters. ๐ย

If you want to buy an insect hotel that allows nesting tubes to be cleaned, here's my listing of companies that sell them. I especially like the ones with observation windows. Thanks for any corrections. #InsectHotels #BeeHotels #pollinators #bees #wasps colinpurrington.com/2019/05/wher...

Colored pencil drawing of a firefly, a monarch on milkweed, a salamander, and a violet with information that reads: The acidity of the water means not many amphibians like them, with a few exceptions such as the leopard frog, spotted salamander, and wood frogs. A few turtles and snake species can be found as well. These wetlands are full of insects though, and they thrive. This is good news for breeding birds, even seed eating species need insects for protein to feed to their young. Wetlands benefit humans as well. They can prevent flooding inland, provide a reservoir that filters water into local aquifers for our well and city water, cleaning it of pollutants for our consumption, and clean the water coming from the land of silt, pollutants, and debris that can damage river and ocean ecosystems. Unfortunately, wetlands are on the decline. Some are drained for agricultural use and commercial property, and many companies want to get their hands on peat and donโt worry about how long it took the wetland above the peat to form, or what a valuable resource the wetlands themselves are. With urban sprawl pushing wildlife into these areas already, the shrinking habitat means fierce competition for food and breeding space. Native species are getting crowded out. Many wetland species are at risk, including several species of carnivorous plants.
Zine day! More wetland babies :). Next week we take a break and I show you what I've learned in about my new baby snake, and some stuff about worms, and maybe grubs and slugs.

Spring crocuses. ๐ฎ๐บ
Their beauty lasted only a few days and how intense were their scent and colors attracting the first pollinators. The buzz of bumblebees collecting that heavy pollen was something I didn't want to miss.

Microdonย is a uniqueย hoverflyย genus. Its larvae live inside ant nests where they prey on ant brood. Because of their unusual body shape,ย Microdonย larvae can be misidentified as slugs.

I pre-ordered a 38 pack of plants from Prairie Moon this morning and am getting 6 of these Shrubby St. John's Wort (Hypericum prolificum) to add to our home garden. New plant for me, excited to see how much the bumbles love it. ๐๐ชฒ

Underwater Bees!
Queen bumblebees are able to breathe underwater while hibernating, a study revealed yesterday. The physical mechanism behind this process is yet to be fully understood.

Have you ever heard of seed disking? Well, that's what we are currently doing on 100 acres along Rule Creek on the Raven's Nest Nature Preserve! Goal: to improve plant diversity for native pollinators! ๐ป๐
Stay tuned for the results! ๐ธ๐ผ
