I rarely mention things non camping on WTW. By the Looks of how often this forum is used I'm far from alone. But here's something Pam and I have been doing for a few years. I hate long posts so I'll try to (I said try) to be economical.
Pam is a U of A Master Gardener so by osmosis I've learned a lot of good stuff. I've learned a lot of bad stuff too one of which is the monumental loss (not just honey bees) of native polinators. We have constructed large and small Mason Bee (they dont sting) houses for friends at our little spot on earth. But one of the things we've been doing for years is wildflower Seed Bombs. They're easy to make and a breeze to distribute. They attract bees by the thousands. Remember no bees, no peaches, grapes, water melon, and so on. You get the picture. You just drive down the highway and toss them out the window on vacant land. POC! You can pretty much use any wildflowers you want or a mix. They can be had comercially but they're so easy to make why buy them.

And here are some bee habitats Pam made.
