[Pollinator] Blog and fact sheet -- Providing nest sites and overwintering shelter

[Matthew Shepherd]

To sustain our native bees and butterflies, pollinator gardens need to
provide more than flowers. They should also include nest sites and shelter
for the winter. Today’s blog from the Xerces Society discusses how you can
do this.

We also have released a new fact sheet about how to provide nest sites and
overwintering shelter:
