1. Support your local beekeeper- When purchasing honey and beeswax products, choose locally-me options to invest in local beekeepers, who sustainably raise bees and bolster community.

2. Donate time or funds to local environmental groups- Bees are part of a complex ecosystem, and contributions to organizations that support any conservation effort will help strengn environment.

3. Make safe havens for native bees- Most native bees have a solitary lifestyle: 30% live in holes inside trees, and 70% live underground. Give m shelter by providing exposed, undisturbed soil or nesting boxes that you can buy or make yourself.

4. Create a bee bath- Fill a shallow birdbath or bowl with clean water, and arrange stones inside so that y poke out of water. Bees will land on stones to drink on breaks from foraging and pollinating.

5. Plant a pollinator garden- Diversify sources of bee nutrition while beautifying s with pollinator-friendly plants. Make a garden in s ranging from window boxes to full yards, and consider using a mix of multi-season blooms to provide year-round sustenance.
