Hi,
can you explain a bit more about which pollinators, your cropping etc. The problem we have in UK is year round nectar supplies and we intercrop pollen/nectar strips in warm areas of the farm,

im guessing they are talking about the bee die off.......
The only things I know to do are QUIT SPRAYING CHEMICALS, plant lots of perennial flowers, plant flowering trees or crops, I plant sage, wildflowers, apple and pear trees, bushes and plants that flower in spring, lillys, irises, and more all over the farm so that I attract as many pollinators as possible.

We have to preserve our ecosystems! As pixelphotographer mentioned, we need to eliminate reliance on chemicals and get back to organic growing methods and work to preserve the healthy landscapes that pollinators (and also plants, animals and humans) need.
