Preach it!

There are ways that students from other majors and backgrounds can help bees continue to prosper and help the environment. One way is by planting many flowers. Flowers create pollen, which is what bees collect, and helps plant fertilization down the road. “Dandelions and clovers are great for them because they grow first right in spring so bees will still be able to eat before other flowers are in bloom,” Wilson said. Mowing the lawn less often also helps since that is where various bees tend to nest. Staying away from pesticides, such as buying organic fruits and vegetables, can be another good way to help the bees live longer.
