<p>Hi! The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recently posted a spread of photographs on USFWS pollinator conservation and education projects that took place this spring and summer. Activities included nearly 40 habitat restorations; 30 pollinator gardens; native bee surveys on 19 wildlife refuges, 16 surveys for butterflies or other non-bee pollinators, and over 200 educational events focusing on or including pollinators.
