How will you celebrate Earth Day this year on April 22nd?
EarthDay.org calls on businesses, governments, and citizens to adopt sustainable solutions—yet many struggle to identify impactful ideas. United Land Services bridges this gap with turnkey initiatives that:
- Foster team-building among coworkers through collaborative projects.

Why Spring Is the Ideal Time to Act
This season highlights the critical role of pollinators—and the professionals who support them. Consider this: 90+ U.S. crops depend on honey bees and beekeepers, making managed pollination indispensable to our food supply. By investing in pollinator-friendly spaces, you directly contribute to ecosystem health and food security.
Plan Your Garden
April is National Lawn & Garden Month, which has us thinking all about our gardens and the pollinators that visit them. Just like us, it is important that pollinators have access to a varied diet of plants, pollen, and nectar. By planting a variety of flowering plants, you help our pollinators stay healthy and strong. To help you get started, we’re digging into eight different regions of the U.S. and the best pollinator-friendly plants for your garden.
Another easy way to attract pollinators to your garden is to put out a bird bath made specifically for them. Simply fill a shallow bowl with water, rocks, sticks, and/or cork for the bees to land on—and make sure to change out that water every couple of days.
Not into gardening (it’s not for everybody)? No problem—you can help the bees just in how you maintain your lawn. Those dandelions you see popping up – let them grow! You may not like them, but bees love them, and in many instances, they are the first source of food honey bees find coming out of winter. Reduce the use of pesticides to treat your lawn or garden while flowers are in bloom.
Buy Honey
Did you know that your purchase of honey, whether from a local beekeeper or your neighborhood grocery store, helps support the honey industry and the honeybees that make it all possible? We’re often asked how people can help the bees, and the short answer is that continuing to buy and enjoy honey is the easiest way to help. This simple act helps to fund essential honeybee research and ensures that our little friends will keep on buzzing!
