Celebrando a Nuestros Polinizadores (CNP) nace en el 2018 como un evento de divulgación dirigido al público en general. A nivel global, El CNP se articula a la iniciativa “Semana de los Polinizadores” promovida por Pollinator Partnership organización estadounidense sin ánimo de lucro. El CNP tiene como propósito crear y mantener un espacio de divulgación científica sobre el trabajo de diferentes actores de la sociedad relacionados con el manejo, estudio y conservación de la polinización. Así, este evento convoca a meliponicultores, apicultores, investigadores y a diferentes actores de la sociedad civil para compartir e intercambiar conocimientos relacionados con los polinizadores y el servicio de la polinización en México. Hasta la fecha, el CNP ha tenido tres versiones: dos presenciales (2018 y 2019) y una virtual (2020).

Este año, el Celebrando a Nuestros Polinizadores (CNP) tiene como meta resaltar el trabajo de las mujeres en el manejo, promoción y estudio de los diferentes aspectos (científicos, económicos, nutricionales y socio-culturales) que dependen de la polinización, en el marco de los retos ambientales y sociales de Latinoamérica. Para ello, el CNP-2021 creará un espacio para conocer las experiencias de mujeres que trabajan, desde diferentes contextos, para diseñar e implementar estrategias que permitan mitigar los efectos de la actual “Crisis de la polinización”.

Join Kelly Allsup, University of Illinois Extension Horticulture Educator, to learn about swallowtail butterflies just ahead of National Pollinator Week.

A recent study tracking butterfly abundance in Ohio over the last 20 years has discovered a 33% decline. We can only assume that in Illinois we have similar patterns in decline in our butterfly populations. Scientists believe the decline may be attributed to climate change, habitat degradation, and agricultural practices.

We know we have to plant milkweed for monarchs but what about the other 149 butterfly species in Illinois. With this presentation, Kelly will tell you what plants need to be put in your garden to help 6 species of swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. She will also describe their life cycle and how to identify them. If you plant certain plants, you can increase the swallowtail butterfly habitat in your own garden. Kelly wants you to grow parsley for Black Swallowtail caterpillars.

This week Indiana Dunes National Park celebrates Pollinator Week! Stop by the Paul H Douglas Center for Environmental Education each day this week to learn about pollinators from park scientists and rangers. Indiana Dunes is home to hundreds of pollinator species, including butterflies, bees, and flies (Oh my!), and we have many interesting projects devoted to protecting these amazing creatures and teaching visitors about the important role they play in keeping our park beautiful.

At Indiana Dunes, we are doing what we can to protect native pollinator species—But the work does not have to end with us! This Pollinator Week, stop by the Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education this week to learn about why pollinators are so important and what you can do to protect them!

Designing a native garden can be made easier, more successful and wonderfully rewarding by incorporating key features and applying sound conservation practices. We'll begin our presentation by learning about the essential elements of a pollinator garden with Karl Ackerman of Wild Ones Gibson Woods Chapter, who will provide an overview of what makes a native garden thrive for you, your environment and your local pollinators.

Next, we'll learn about Shirley Heinze Land Trust's Bringing Nature Home program from Eric Bird. Did you know that roads, utility corridors, agricultural land, and residential neighborhoods are all potential barriers to the movement of animals, and the plants they depend on? Native plants in any of these settings can provide safe passage between areas of natural habitat for important pollinators and seed dispersers. This means that your garden makes a difference! Native plants provide food and shelter for birds, butterflies, and other pollinators. Learn how you can support healthy natural ecosystems during this informative presentation.

This will be a Facebook Live presentation at 6:00pm CST. View this event on our Facebook Page: https://fb.me/e/13VEcTByZ

The Pollinator BioBlitz is a communal citizen-science effort to record as many pollinators as possible in during Pollinator Week! How it works: If you can find a pollinator and take a picture of it, you can participate as a BioBlitz observer! Download the iNaturalist app on your mobile device, head outside, and snap as many photos of pollinators as possible including bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, hummingbirds, bats, wasps, flies, and more! Then, upload your photos to the iNaturalist app and share your observations. Go solo or BioBlitz with friends and family. Either way, you’ll love being a citizen scientist!

Calling all chalk enthusiasts! All ages are invited to come chalk the sidewalk at the Bee Branch Creek Greenway in celebration of Pollinator Week! We want to cover the sidewalk with bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, hummingbirds, bats, flowering plants, food crops, and all things pollinator-related! Why? Pollinators provide pollination services to over 180,000 different plant species and more than 1,200 crops. That means that 1 out of every 3 bites of food you eat is there because of pollinators. In addition to the food that we eat, pollinators support healthy ecosystems that clean the air, stabilize soils, protect from severe weather, and support other wildlife. A limited supply of chalk will be provided. People are welcome to bring their own chalk and tools. Everyone who participates will get their own sidewalk square and be entered into a drawing to win punch cards to the City of Dubuque pools! No registration is required. This event is being held in conjunction with the 6th Annual Summer Sustainability Fair.

Stroll through Green-Wood and you will certainly see (and hear) wild bees going about their daily routine. Female bees are collecting nectar and pollen, and males are busily looking for mates. Bee biologist Sarah Kornbluth of the American Museum of Natural History leads this walking tour to highlight how bees live, the resources they need, and where they make their homes across the Cemetery. Learn about the diversity of wild bee species found at Green-Wood (including bumble, carpenter, miner, leaf cutter, sweat, and more) and beecome a bee expert in just ninety minutes.

Comfortable footwear recommended. Brightly colored clothes are discouraged; you’ll get mistaken for a source of nectar.

Go Native! Native plants thrive in local soil and weather conditions, which means they need less water and require no artificial fertilizers to flourish. They not only suit the local environment, but they also form supportive, symbiotic relationships with native wildlife. TCA is proud to partner with Trinity River Audubon Center to plant native plants on their campus and help pollinators and grassland birds thrive in the urban environment.

Located near White Rock Lake, the Warren Ferris Cemetery is being restored from a neglected landscape to a historic cemetery site and wildlife habitat. The site was established in the mid-1800s on the Warren Angus Ferris homestead. Over time, a dense thicket of invasive vegetation overtook the cemetery. A few years ago, the Friends began restoring the site by removing invasive species and planting native plants. TCA is proud to support such important work and help restore healthy habitats for pollinators, box turtles, cottontails, and other wildlife in the city. Join us!

Many of you are already creating pollinator habitats — in backyards, agricultural fields, and public natural spaces; in rural areas and urban centers; and on private and public lands. Together, through all these efforts, great and small, we ensure that annual migrations continue across North America. During Pollinator Week, register your pollinator habitat with Journey North.

You may think that your habitat is just one pollinator patch – but together we are creating a patchwork quilt of connected habitats for the species we track through Journey North.

Help us to show the whole “quilt” by participating in our Pollinator Patch mapping effort.

We look forward to connecting with you!

National Pollinator Week is a time to celebrate pollinators and spread the word about what you can do to protect them.

Fourteen years ago the U.S. Senate, initiated by Pollinator Partnership under Laurie Davies Adams, unanimously approved and designated a week in June as “National Pollinator Week”, marking a necessary step toward addressing the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations. That same year, Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johans issued a proclamation that Dr. Larry Stritch, US FS Chief Botanist for Grasslands, orchestrated. Pollinator Week has now grown into an international celebration of the valuable ecosystem services provided by bees, birds, butterflies, bats and beetles.

Pollinator Week was initiated and is managed by Pollinator Partnership.

Join award winning author and pollinator conservationist, Heather Holm, for a free online presentation on Monday, June 21st at 7:00pm EDT. Her talk will be on Native Predatory Wasps: Their Role as Pollinators and Beneficial Insects. Register at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/2021-pollinator-week-heather-holm-tickets-148405772661.

Native bees and predatory wasps share the same lineage and also share many behaviors and habitat requirements. Predatory wasps feed their offspring invertebrates (insects and spiders) and bees diverged from this carnivorous diet to feed their offspring plant-based food (pollen and nectar). Flower-rich landscapes provide critical habitat for both adult bees and wasps because they each consume flower nectar; in addition, wasps need diverse, flower-rich landscapes to hunt for their prey. Heather will highlight many amazing natural history and biology facts about native wasps illustrating their nesting habitat, prey specificity, and the ecosystems services they provide—pest insect population control and pollination.

This presentation will not be recorded. Participants can join online or by phone. A link will be sent to you a few days prior to the event.

Demand for solar energy continues to accelerate - can this benefit beekeepers? Who’s doing it and how does it work? In the United States, farmers and other landowners have signed leases for more than 500,000 acres of new ground-mounted solar projects by the end of 2024, with up to 10 million more acres by 2050. Some of these projects are seeded with acres of diverse ground cover including clovers and other flowering species. With a virtual tour showing successful projects, this online event will introduce beekeepers to the increasingly common land use of large-scale solar farms, as well as a model contract created by the Food and Beverage Law Clinic at Pace University’s Elisabeth Hub School of Law, for beekeepers exploring solar farm apiary agreements.
