13 Value of diversifying sources of pollination Why diversify? Make honey bees move more -> better pollinators Pollinate at different times of day or bloom Pollinate different parts of the bush or field Fly in different weather conditions Photo: Jason Gibbs, Emily May

17 What do bees need? 1. Food (nectar, pollen, and water) 2. Shelter (nesting resources) 3. Safe environment Photo: Brett Blaauw
18 What do bees need? The amount of natural habitat on or close to the farm has a direct influence on pollinator diversity and abundance Photo: Brett Blaauw
19 Habitat for bees Bees need forage when crop isn t flowering Season-long bloom (spring, summer, fall) More diverse plant communities support greater diversity of pollinators Photos: Rufus Isaacs
20 Habitat for bees You probably already have some! Blueberry pollinators are supported by: Unmanaged/natural areas Spring-flowering trees (willows, maples) Decaying trees or sandy banks Improve habitat for bees by. Reduce mowing Maintain natural areas Plant new pollinator habitat Photos: Rufus Isaacs
21 May 2009 Flower plot establishment Site preparation and management are critical! 1. Assess sites for difficult weeds before selection 2. Herbicide, tillage, and/or solarization for at least a year before seeding 3. Use no-till drill for seeding, or hand seed then roll 4. Develop a post-seeding maintenance plan (high mowing) Photo: Brett Blaauw

35 Pesticide safety Minimize risk to bees: Do not spray when crop is in bloom Spray after dusk or before dawn Select active ingredient and formulation with least toxicity to bees
36 Finding the right fit for your farm 1. Identify your current pollination strategies 2. Determine if you are maximizing pollination 3. Identify farm practices you use that support pollinators 4. Identify management changes or new practices that fit your farm 5. Implement changes Photo: Rufus Isaacs
