Millions of Monarch Butterflies have died

[Catherine]

I understand that the efforts of many have made a difference. It is the cities that are doing it. What we do for the monarchs also helps the bees. We have become aware of our need for pollinators and we have acted on it.  We have small front yards and people have taken out the grass and put in flowers and shrubs to help the pollinators and the birds. I try to have a succession of flowers blooming from early spring right through to November. The Butterfly bushes are just blooming now. My different shrubs produce berries at different times. People around me are doing the same.

Some day we will sit back and watch the Monarchs flying in numbers. That is an amazing sight.

Still when I hear about a big Monarch loss I want to cry. We are doing are part here. We need Mexico to protect them over the winter. Is that too much to ask?
