How to Build a Pollinator Habitat with Your Kids

Earth Day is around the corner and what better way to celebrate than to help your kids be conservationists in small ways. This resource will help your child become a conservationist by building a pollinator habitat.

Do you know that there have been numerous reports stating that there is a decline of honeybees and other pollinators? It is pretty scary to think about it. Think of what will happen to vegetation if there is a huge decrease in pollinators?

Well, its springtime and there is no better time to build a pollinator habitat with your homeschoolers than now. You can help your kids have a love of nature and explain just why they should appreciate the Creation all around them.

Your kiddos can start building a pollinator habitat to learn about the many aspects of conservation – yes, even in your own backyard. Even if you have limited space in your home or do not have a back yard, you can begin your habitat by growing four or five plants on a patio, window sill, or balcony in your home.

Did you know that there are several types of pollinators, including some you didn’t even think could be pollinators?

Here are a few pollinators in our environment:

• honey bees
• carpenter bees
• bumble bees
• butterflies
• ladybugs
• beetles
• hummingbirds
• even bats!

Help your child build a pollinator habitat in your home to help the environment one family at a time with some guidance from The Usual Mayhem.
