Bees are some of the hardest-working creatures in nature! In this episode of A WonderGrove For Birds, Brooke explores how bees help plants grow, make honey, and even support our food supply. Learn why these master pollinators are so important and how you can help them by planting native flowers, avoiding pesticides, and setting up a bee bath. Let’s work together to keep our buzzing friends safe and our ecosystems thriving!
This environmental science lesson was inspired by Nature’s Best Hope, Young Readers’ Edition (amazon.com/Natures-Best-Hope-Young-Readers/dp/1643262149) by Douglas W. Tallamy. He is the co-founder of Homegrown National Park® (homegrownnationalpark.org ).
This series was created by Terry Thoren, the former CEO of Klasky Csupo, Inc., the company that created The Wild Thornberrys. Mr. Thoren has a lifelong passion for birds, inspired by nine glorious years as a child making weekend visits to the beautiful 220-acre Sapsucker Woods Sanctuary at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, NY.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology created 7 Simple Actions to Help Birds. This video was inspired by their action to Protect Our Planet from Plastic. The other six simple actions include Make Windows Safer, Keep Cats Indoors, Reduce Lawn, Plant Natives, Avoid Pesticides, Drink Shade-Grown Coffee, and Watch Birds—Share What You See.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology works tirelessly on behalf of birds every day of the year. Their mission is to interpret and conserve the Earth’s biological diversity through research, education, and citizen science focused on birds and nature. We recommend that you visit their website and explore the wonderful learning opportunities they have for children. https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/
