Reposting this to help remind everyone that Growth doesn't always look the same, it's different in every step, and that's totally okay. Just keep on climbing, and take a step forward. 🦋😊

Many native bees spend winter asleep in stems, leaves, and underground burrows. A quiet garden helps them wake up in spring!

🌱 Leave dead plant stems standing; they shelter mason and leafcutter bees.
🌍 Avoid disturbing bare soil; mining and sweat bees rest underground.
🍂 Keep some leaf litter; bumblebee queens seek shelter for winter.
🚫 Skip winter tilling; dormant bee larvae stay safe when undisturbed.
🌳 Leave soft, aging wood; cavity-nesting bees use logs for protection.
🌾 Go light on mulch; open patches help ground-nesting bees emerge in spring.

These winter guests are often the first pollinators in your garden each year! 🐝
