Rose Pest Solutions Supports National Pollinator Week

TROY, Mich. – Rose Pest Solutions is supporting the preservation of pollinating insects during National Pollinator Week, which takes place June 18-24 and highlights the importance of protecting pollinators and their ecosystems.

Rose Pest Solutions works to protect beneficial insects like the honeybee and other pollinators in the communities it serves throughout Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. If a honeybee hive or nest is discovered on a customer’s property, Rose technicians will recommend the least invasive solution, including safe relocation when possible.

“Rose Pest Solutions frequently receives calls from our residential customers to remove honeybees,” said Mark VanderWerp, certified entomologist and director of education and training for Rose Pest Solutions. “Our teams work with local community beekeepers in many cases to safely relocate the bees.”

Individuals interested in celebrating National Pollinator Week can plant flowers and flowering plants in their gardens that bloom at different times during spring, summer and fall. To make it easier for honeybees and other pollinators to access, place colorful flowers in clusters. Homeowners are cautioned not to establish a beehive in their yard without instruction and support of a trained beekeeper.
