Penn State’s Beescape tool is gaining a new feature that allows users to download county-specific lists of pollinator-attractive plants, offering a more localized approach to improving pollinator habitats across Pennsylvania.
The feature, developed by a multidisciplinary team of researchers at Penn State’s Center for Pollinator Research in the College of Agricultural Sciences, allows users to generate lists of plants tailored to ecological conditions at the county level.
Lists include trees, shrubs and flowering plants, along with bloom times to help users support pollinators throughout the growing season. Initially available only in Pennsylvania, the team hopes to expand the feature nationwide with additional funding.
