When we decided to combine our state wildflower, the Passion flower and the state agricultural insect, the Bumblebee, it became clear that we must “BEE”come aggressive about the negative impact litter has on our community, wildlife, agriculture and waterways. According to the Journal of Ecology: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ j.1365-2745.2011.01793.x/pdf “Declines in availability of plant resources to pollinators are a major cause of pollinator loss. Nectar, the main energetic resource for pollinators, plays a central role in behaviour and composition of pollinator communities like BEES. Our results demonstrate that litter inputs and competition between plants for soil resources can alter nectar traits linked to plant attractiveness to pollinators. This supports the idea that below-ground plant–plant interactions for soil resources can influence above- ground plant–plant interactions for pollination services.”
