We hear so much about people who hurt bees, I felt it was time to hear about someone who does them good. Bob Moosmann works for the Department of Transportation in Maine. How does that relate to bees? He is in charge of all the roadsides along the highways. He has done lots of good things over the years, but right now he is working at restoring the road sides with Native Plants that will provide food for pollinators.

Bringing back native plants to the roadsides will provide so much for the local bees and butterflies and many other types of animals. There are roads everywhere. If each one had a pollinator habitat on both sides it would make a big difference to the survival of wild bees.
If this goes well the idea could spread to other areas. It is a step in the right direction. At a time when there is so much bad news about bees, this is some good news.
