People know pollinators are important, especially since we depend on them for much of our food, but bees and other pollinators have a larger role in the world beyond our farms. And we’re now finding alarming declines in the kinds and sheer numbers of not just pollinators but of all insects, the foundation of the food web. Learn how you can support these “little things that run the world” in your own yard — and why it matters.
