The Winter Garden
Even though the winter garden appears lifeless, many of the pollinators will be tucked into a variety of shelters in the garden. Some will overwinter as an adult, others in the larva or pupa form. Some may even overwinter as eggs. When you maintain your winter garden be aware of the various life stages of both bees and butterflies that may have settled into the leaf litter, hollow, dead branches, and underground.
