<human>:  How can I help protect bees and other pollinators?
<bot>: One of the best ways to help protect bees and other pollinators is to create a pollinator-friendly garden. Planting flowers, shrubs, and trees that are native to your area, provide essential resources like pollen and nectar to pollinators, and that bloom at different times throughout the year can help create a diverse habitat for these creatures. Additionally, providing sources of water and avoiding the use of pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides can also help protect bees and other pollinators.
