Local Native Plant Nurseries

Regardless of your location Native Beeology strongly encourages you to buy plants from local nurseries.  You can ask them,  “How do you grow their plants? Do you use neonicotinoids which are harmful to bees and other pollinators?”.  Go one step further and identify the local native plant nurseries in your area.  Avoid large “Box Stores” when buying plants.
