Seen any monarchs in your garden recently? They’re migrating! Flying all the way from North American to warm Southern California and Mexico for the winter 🍃 Who else has been stocking up on milkweed and native plants for our Monarchs to enjoy?
The bees are busy collecting pollen from the Pygmy Date Palms this morning! Check out their pollen pants, it's a pale light yellow pollen 💛🐝

In honor of Pollinator Week, here is a unique view of a honey bee with red pollen in her pollen baskets! ♦️ A Pollen Basket is a special flat spot on a bee’s hind legs fringed with long curved hairs and is used to carry pollen. When a bee collects pollen, it uses nectar or honey to create a Pollen Pellet. The pellet is brought back to the hive and used to create "bee bread" in order to feed developing larvae! Why would this pollen pellet be RED? Flowers are known to create all sorts of different colored pollen, including yellow, orange, white, green, red, or even purple pollen pellets (say that three times fast!) 🌺 This red pollen comes from Rock Purslane (Calandrinia grandiflora)........#PollinatorWeek #Pollinator #bigbuzzaboutbees #fieldtripsandiego #NativePlantsCalifornia

It’s World Bee Day! Today’s the day to give some much deserved praise to BEES!
Bees have such an huge impact on our environment - from the beautiful plants that surround us, to the food on our plates! Without these industrious pollinators, our world would be a lot less colorful.
Here at Sager Family Farm, we’re doing all we can to help our bees thrive, and teach explorers of all ages how important they are! Celebrate World Bee day by planting some flowers and exploring the nature that bees help create 🪻🌷🌻

Want to do your part for the environment? Plant flowers! It’s the easiest way to help bees an other pollinators do their job- and they’re not so tough on the eyes either 🌻 The best flowers for bees are lavender, sunflowers, and poppies! For this reel, we planted a few variations of different sunflowers. Stay tuned to watch them grow! #sagerfamilyfarm #nonprofitsandiego #savethenees #smallfarmsandiego
Our late planting of sunflowers is just starting to bloom, providing much needed pollen and nectar to hungry bees!
