For the first time, several species of bees have been put on endangered status by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They also report that pollinators are under threat around the world.

Wednesday, Keep Allen County Beautiful donated three pollinator plants to the Children's Garden at the Allen County Museum. The Oakleaf Hydrangea, Witch Hazel, and Sweetspire attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Home owners are also being encouraged to plant pollinators to increase the population of bees and butterflies.
