May’s #PrairieSeedOfTheMonth is #Dalea #purpurea aka Purple Prairie Clover! This plant is popular with #nativebees, making it an ideal subject of #pollen studies in the #CariveauLab. Found in prairies from Canada to Texas, you can spot this #perennial throughout North America. 🐝

Exciting day for the #MAPPumn team! After a long trip from their winter home in TX, our 216 experimental colonies have made it to MN! 🐝 We’ll be managing them & collecting health data throughout the season. 🌿 Can’t wait to see how these #honeybees use our #habitat plantings 🌻

April's #PrairieSeedOfTheMonth is #Asclepias #syriaca aka Common #Milkweed. They dot MN roadsides & prairies in clusters of 🌸 & 💟. Arranged like 🐟 scales, seeds disperse using long, flossy hairs. While #Monarchs are faithful visitors, #beetles #aphids & #pollinators use it too

Hey @fieldworktalk! Let us know if you want to chat about the work of we do for #pollinators in ag country. Working with dozens of #farmers in southwest MN, we are excited to see what #habitat #installations in corn & soy can do for #bees, natural enemies, & wildlife. #Research.

Look for the featherlike floral clusters in #prairie #restorations and along roadsides throughout Minnesota!

March’s #PrairieSeedOfTheMonth is #Achillea #millefolium aka Yarrow. This widespread #perennial has many common names, alluding to its varied use. Valued in sacred #medicine of Indigenous tribal communities, it’s been used by the #Ojibwe for ailments & ceremonies. 🐝 like it too!

Plant some #pollinator habitat. Talk to your legislators. Get involved in a citizen science program. Be an advocate in your city or community for native habitat — what it looks like, why it’s needed. Our panelists share ideas for what *anyone* can do. #SecondMondays

Recent photo from a Lyon Cty #MAPPumn site. With turkey & 25+ deer visiting in the winter months, we hope our #habitat #installations attract just as many #pollinators & natural enemies in the summer months. Thank you landowners for keeping watch over these #restoration efforts!

February’s #PrairieSeedOfTheMonth is Agastache foeniculum aka Anise hyssop! This drought-resistant bloom attracts a variety of pollinators, from #bumblebees to #monarchs. When crushed, the leaves smell of mint & licorice. Blue & violet hues make it a homegardener‘s favorite 🌱💜
