Certain Trees Help Bees Thrive!

7/18/2019

We’ve all read about the worrying decline of bee populations around the world and wondered what we could do to help one of nature’s most effective pollinators.

​The great news is that the trees that bring beauty to your yard might also help to save your neighborhood bees. It’s true; let’s take a brief look at how certain trees help bees thrive.


Why saving the bees is so vital
With so many insects swarming around your yard each spring and summer day it’s sometimes challenging to remember that the pollinators, such as the bees, could use a little bit of help right now. Indeed, bee populations are plummeting all over the planet, and we’ll need to respond right now if we want to keep our quality of life. Bees bring us


  • Honey
  • Food crops (ex. Apples, watermelon, and sweet potatoes)
  • Flowering plants

Sadly, researchers warn that at least 700 species of bees in North America are in danger of disappearing forever. Scientists think that pesticides and habitat loss are the primary causes of the bee population collapse in the United States.

Plant a tree to save a bee
Fortunately, there is hope for Buffalo’s bee population. According to Hilary Kearney on the Keeping Backyard Bees website, trees provide benefits such as (1) food, (2) sap and resin, and (3) improved air quality that helps bees to thrive. Indeed, Kearney suggests that you should opt for planting a tree over starting a bee attracting garden since a tree will continue to maintain the bees long after you’ve left your home.

In general, you should choose trees that are native to your community when you’re planting a tree to assist the local bees. Excellent choices in the Buffalo-Niagara region include


  • Red maple
  • Pussy willow
  • Serviceberry
  • American plum
  • Tulip tree
  • Black cherry
  • American chestnut
  • American basswood
