The organization is a collaboration between Project Apis m. and Browning’s Honey Co., Inc. and brings together diverse stakeholders such as landowners, conservationists, scientists, and beekeepers to target pollinators’ needs precisely. The team works together to build healthy and sustainable pollinator habitats by using science-based and proven results.
The Bee & Butterfly Habitat Fund has created a diverse mix of grasses and flowers that provide an ideal habitat for pollinators and wildlife such as bees, butterflies, grassland songbirds, pheasant, quail, upland birds, and more.
The NextGen Habitat Projects are differentiated from other programs by using precision seed mixtures that deliver maximum benefits for pollinators, cost-effective plantings that maximize both quality and quantity, superior ability to manage early weed competition, streamlined non-government enrollment and adaptability for landowners, maximum value per acre by optimizing bloom diversity and abundance throughout the growing season, two separate plantings on each project to ensure success for multiple species, and the opportunity for beekeepers to work with landowners to improve forage near their hives.
The Bee & Butterfly Habitat Fund is committed to creating and improving pollinator habitats by working collaboratively with stakeholders and using science-based methods to build healthy and sustainable habitats that benefit both pollinators and wildlife.
