Host a party for butterflies at your place! Select a sunny area. These native annuals and perennials will do the rest. Next spring your Butterfly Retreat will invite your guests to feast on nectar and color throughout the season. Butterflies bring you dances of life that continue for years to come. Contains a beautiful mix of species that will host butterflies in each phase of their life cycle. Planting for Pollinators Sometimes I think that we tend to forget about the smaller things in life that really do make the world go 'round. Just as all types of wildlife have suffered from the increased fragmentation of land through urbanization so have the bees, beetles, & butterflies. Use to beekeepers would ask farmers if it would be alright to set a beehive next to their crops in exchange for some honey. Now Farmers are paying beekeepers to bring in hives for their crops, sometimes from miles away. About 1/3rd of the U.S. food supply depends of pollinators. That doesn't include all the backyard gardens and orchards that we plant for our own private use. Why the decline in pollinators? Could it be the increased use of pesticides by farmers and urbanites with bug fetishes who install systems that douse their yards every night?
