Dreaming of spring gardening? Bees and other pollinators like a variety of flowers For those thinking ahead to spring gardening, a biologist explains what to focus on when designing a garden with pollinators in mind and what not to worry about.

To design a garden that supports the greatest number and diversity of pollinators, don’t worry about what your neighbors are doing or not doing. Just focus on planting different kinds of flowers – and lots of them.
