We can make a difference-we really can!
• We can be an oasis in a desert of asphalt and single crop farms for birds, bees and butterflies.
• Small places help.

Lots of talk about urban yards and small places being important

Honeybees and other Insect pollinators
• Insect pollination is integral to food security in the United States. The 2012-2013 winter, indicates an average loss of 45.1 percent of hives across all U.S. beekeepers, up 78.2 percent from the previous winter. This is also a global problem. About a third of our foods (some 100 key crops) rely on these insects, including apples, nuts, all the favorite summer fruits (like blueberries and strawberries), alfalfa (which cows eat), and guar bean (used in all kinds of products). In total, bees contribute more than $15 billion to U.S. crop production.

US Dept. of Agriculture says it best:Without pollinators, we don’t eat—it’s simple as that—and, at the moment, large numbers of pollinators are dying.
With the world’s population projected to exceed 9 billion in just the next 30 years or so, that is not a good position for us to be in.

Arkansas native bees
• No protective gear necessary-gentle
• Tunnel-Nesting Bees
Solitary bees
Many species of solitary bees are native to Arkansas.
These bees will rarely, if ever, sting!

Butterflies pollinate plants, but in ways different from all other pollinators
• Butterflies fly longer distances
• Butterflies perch and disturb pollen
• Butterflies like hot sun when bees take shelter

Monarch Butterflies• Counts of the familiar orange-and-black
insects, admired for their flights of up to thousands of miles a year, are trending down so sharply that their migration is now under threat.

AVERAGE LIFE SPAN OF A BUTTERFLY?
• Winged time- 1 to 2 weeks!!!!
• Total 6-8 weeks• In some species, adults that
emerge in late summer or early fall hibernate overwinter in a sheltered spot. Also fall-hatched monarch butterflies migrate south in fall and northward in spring. Adults of these species may survive for 8-9 months or longer.

Similarly, migrating and breeding monarch populations are vulnerable to harsh weather and to human activities that reduce milkweed and nectar sources. This can reduce the number of monarchs that reach overwintering sites. Every backyard can be an oasis! Quote: Monarchwatch.org

Birds feed insects to their young = protein and fats

Insects and other arthropods, particularly spiders that themselves eat insects, are essential dietary components for 96 percent of North American terrestrial bird species. Insects are extraordinarily high in protein: They have up to twice as much protein, pound for pound, as does beef. Insects also have organs in their abdomens called fat bodies that are rich in high-energy lipids. Both protein and fat are the stuff of growth and thus make up the bulk of what breeding birds need to feed their nestlings. Quote from Douglas W. Tallamy

Nonnatives contain fewer insect prey, which can result in increased starvation by nestlings relying on insect prey as food. This
notion is supported by the finding that about 120 species of insects are found feeding on purple loosestrife in Europe, whereas only 12 were found in a study in southern Illinois. In 2000 a similar study, by Karen Burhardt, was conducted in
suburban landscapes found that landscapes dominated by Asian ornamentals were correlated with a significant loss in breeding bird species and abundance.
