Pollinators are disappearing - the City of Bellevue w/Green Bellevue’s guidance & support became a Bee City USA in 2021 to protect them. In fact, many insects are in trouble and excessive use of pesticides that kill insects and the lack of habitat from urbanization are some of the reasons for their disappearance. You can help protect our pollinators by planting plants they need in your garden or containers. Come on down to the Bellevue Farmers Market Saturday mornings from 8:30-12:30 for free native plants and education from Green Bellevue & our partners. We also have our new Bee City USA Pollinator garden sign available!

The Bee City USA committee is on a course to increase the abundance of native plants, provide nest sites and reduce the use of pesticides through partnering with residents, businesses, schools, utilities and government to educate our community about the why, what and how to protect Bees and insects. Join us for our next monthly zoom meeting to learn more and participate in our efforts! Email admin@greenbellevue.org if you’d like to join us!
