Pollinate TO (aka Toronto) refers to community led projects that are helping the pollinators by installing gardens around the city on boulevards and other underused spaces. They receive small grants from the city to help with getting the plants etc. The one in this pic is located in a small patch of land at the entrance to a parking lot.

It is good to see cities trying to help and encourage pollinators. Our area is a major bee and honey producer, and the bees are threatened for a number of reasons. Pollinators are so important to us.
All these are small steps in the right direction. I just saw an item on our News that said they have researched what bees need to stay healthy and have discovered a food supplement, which beekeepers can give them, that helps prevent them dying over winter.

We should all be doing that.
That's a great idea and not seen often enough here.
