Bees are having a hard time out there in the world, what with colony collapse disorder, neonicotinoids, varroa mites, etc. But you can help them by eliminating pesticides in your garden and installing California native plants. Find out how to choose and grow the plants most attractive to bees and other garden pollinators. Learn how easy these natives are to cultivate without chemicals or fertilizers.
Steve Rosenthal is the president of our CNPS Chapter. He’s a retired high tech worker and amateur photographer. He volunteers with Alum Rock Park to help restore its native habitat. He got interested in science because the world seemed like the most wonderful puzzle. After he retired, he discovered an even more entrancing puzzle right in his own garden.
