Abstract
This guide summarizes pollinators found on farms that can be supported by planting blooming cover crops in sequences throughout the season. Some of these pollinator groups are also natural enemies of common crop pests. By identifying and understanding the natural history of these insects, you can provide cover crops and adjust other farm practices that will help ensure resilient and abundant pollinator populations.
