The mission of Bee City USA and Monarch City USA in the City of Twin Falls is to galvanize the community to sustain pollinators, which are responsible for the production of almost 90 percent of the worlds flowering plant species. The community can sustain them by providing bees and butterflies with healthy habitats that are largely free of pesticides.

Thanks to the more than 3,600 species of native bees in the United States, along with introduced honey bees, we have a very diverse selection of fruits, nuts, and vegetables.

The Monarch butterfly is an iconic North American species whose multigenerational migration and metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly has captured the imagination of millions of Americans, young and old.
