• The use of pesticides can be detrimental to bees especially near places where plants are flowering. 
• The planting of bee friendly plants near crops can attract pollinators and allow more space for them to forage. 
  • when possible, the diversification of crops attracts and supports bees by providing them with diverse nutrients and pollen. 
• IPM (Integrated Pest Management Strategies) allow for less bee exposure to toxic chemicals and can be more successful than other strategies in some cases.
