May is Garden for Wildlife Month – the perfect time of year to establish or improve your habitat for bumble bees and other native wildlife. Native plants are best because they have coevolved with native bees. Plant a variety of native plants, some that bloom in the spring, some that bloom in the summer, and some that bloom in the fall, to provide three seasons of food for bumble bees and other pollinators.
