Farming for Bees

A PDF file is available for download at the bottom of the page.  The guide for landowners includes the following information:
Establishing pollinator habitat, using flowering cover crops to support bees, extensive pesticide risk reduction guidance, checklists on farm habitat features for bees, and new case studies from farms across the country.

I thought some might find this interesting and it's that time of year to begin planning.
