UMaine Extension cited in WGME report on pollinator plants
WGME (Channel 13 in Portland) cited the University of Maine Cooperative Extension in the report, “Forecasting growth: Pollinator plants help the bees.” Bees play a critical role in spreading pollen among crops, but experts say bee populations are declining. With fewer bees to pollinate, crops and flowers will be less productive, the report states. To aid their population, experts suggest growing pollinator plants, or plants that produce an especially high amount of pollen. WGME linked to UMaine Extension’s list of pollinator plants. WPFO (Fox 23 in Portland) also carried the report.
