Bee Safe Neighborhood

Make your garden safe for bees

Sustain O'Kane encourages neighbors to take a pledge to create environments that are safe for bees and other pollinators. The pledge is, first, not to use systemic pesticides that are harmful to bees and other insects that are beneficial to our gardens and our environment, and then, second, to also plant bee-friendly plants.
