Dear Friend,

Climate change, urbanization, mining and drilling are costing bees their habitat.[1]

As temperatures rise and human development alters landscapes, the range of habitat suitable for bees has shifted and shrunk.[2] This loss is contributing to an unsustainable decline among our most important pollinators.

Fortunately, small spaces can do wonders. By planting native vegetation, which local bees are best adapted to, along roadsides, parkways and other public lands, our state officials can mitigate habitat loss.

Join thousands of supporters in calling on our governor to plant bee-friendly vegetation on public lands.

Dear Friend,

Bee populations are plummeting as a result of habitat loss.

Changing temperature and weather conditions have restricted the range of areas where bees can survive.[1] In addition, human development has replaced natural areas with buildings, parking lots and roadways.[2] Bees' habitat has shrunk across North America.[3] In order to protect bees from further habitat loss, we need our governor to commit to planting bee-friendly native vegetation on public lands.

Send a message to Gov. Polis: Cultivate bee-friendly habitat on public lands.

As native vegetation is replaced by roadways, neighborhoods and crop fields, bees lose the food sources and nesting sites they rely on. This creates additional challenges for migrating bees. If the distance between suitable habitat is too large, smaller, weaker pollinators may die along the journey.[4]

The great thing about habitat is that small spaces can do wonders. Parks, roadsides and government lawns are all perfect for wildflowers and pollinator-friendly plants. It's time for Colorado to welcome bees in.

Call on our governor to create sustainable bee habitat in Colorado.

Bees are our most important pollinators. Mass die-offs have alarming consequences for our environment and global food supply. But by planting native vegetation, which local bees are best adapted to, states can take action to save the bees.[5]

Take action.
