Best Management Practices for Pollinator Protection in Field Corn

Description

Corn pollen, while of low nutritional value to honey bees, can still be an important component of pollinator diets. This is especially true in areas where corn makes up a high proportion of the landscape and other food sources for bees are limited. The focus of this document is on managed pollinators such as honey bees but many of the best management practices for honey bees will also benefit other pollinators.
