For almost 20 years I have been working on helping the Monarch Butterfly by planting Milkweed, which is their only food. Also, spreading the word in my area where I live on the importance of helping them. I share plants and seeds of the plant to whomever choses to help as well. Every year the numbers are dwindling. This goes for the bees as well. There are very few of us that grow milkweed and we cannot do it alone. All pollinators should be protected against any threat they have against them. Pesticides are the biggest culprit. Without pollinators, all life on earth will eventually cease to exist.
