With so much of our land now developed, it is important that we plant with pollinators in mind. Here in Hawaiʻ i, we need to be even more mindful. Many popular pollinator plants are invasive and will move into native habitat and push out out endemic species, so please be mindful when selecting your plants.
There are many beautiful native plants that thrive in home gardens and landscaping. Native pollinators already are adapted to them, and with a little planning, you can select plants that benefit our local bee industry, as well as the native insects. While it is true that few of the native fauna remain in human-populated areas, if we do not plant with them in mind, those few will become none.
Remember, native plants are essential for a healthy ecosystem!
