National Pollinator Week (June 22 - 28) is here, shining the spotlight on the often unsung heroes of our backyards who help keep our plants and flowers blooming all summer long.
All too often it's the bees and the butterflies who get all the attention. And while they do a lot of the heavy lifting, our yards are alive with lots of other unsung heroes who are, albeit less celebrated, just as vital when it comes to pollination, quietly underpinning our food production and ensuring our yards are rich and biodiverse.
