Guidebook Helps Solar Developers Integrate Pollinator Health

The Honey Bee Health Coalition released a new guidebook, Guidelines for Developing Pollinator-Friendly Utility-Scale Solar Projects, that’s available free online. This comprehensive guide is designed to help solar developers and project stakeholders integrate pollinator health and habitat benefits into the design and management of utility-scale solar (USS) projects. The guide aims to support the creation of USS projects that not only contribute to renewable energy goals but also enhance pollinator health and habitats. It addresses assessing site suitability, designing pollinator seed mixes, and management and maintenance.
