Awesome it sounds like your right on track!
If you decide to go the natural route then your going to need allies and plant defender plants like our ancestors did, I do not think this works if you go the non natural route because pest insects don’t have a issue with herbicides and pesticides but the predators do and are very weak to them (We have not selectively evolved these guys like we do our pest insects). You then need space for bees, ladybugs, wasps and Lacewings and there ilk. If you look at all old european and asian gardens you will find that they incorporate running water in some way (Fountains, ponds or bird bath type things) and have a area with mud and a area with wood pile and loose sticks. This will provide most of the homes for your beneficial insects. (A fun fact is that when you move in bumble bees they will take over mouse holes!)
Once you have given them a house you want to give them food. Its a decent idea to check with your beekeepers and see when they have dearth weeks/months as most pollinator insects during that time are having a hard time getting nectar (Some have longer tongues or can specifically hit certain plants) and its worth checking whats a important native or non native that flowers during then to plant and this will attract all forms of pollinating and predatory insects. There is a large value in late fall and summer blooming plants that produce nectar.
Some great options for perennials are Anise Hyssop, Bee Balm, Lavender, Thyme, Scabiosas, Hardy Geranium, Cat mint, Cat nip, True Hyssop, White clover for your lawn, Onions & Chives, Oregano, Basils… If these are planted near trees for example the predatory mites can live on the perrenials earlier in the season and stomp out the spider mites and migrate up the trees once its warmer, Once its warm spider mites can make little web parachutes and fly for a really long space where as the predatory mites don’t do this and must walk and they are really small so they don’t make it very far and will die before getting to there next food source where the spider mite traveled and is happily eating away. Basically the way we have evolved our gardening is just to very efficiently farm pest insects and discourage the predators.
This was a great thread and has many more ideas
Trees however produce the most nectar and the most valued are the summer and fall blooming trees
Things like European Linden, Basswoods, Black locust, Jujubes, Persimmons, Bee Bee Tree and others can help bees for the build up over winter. The warmer it is and the more freeze/thaw cycles we have it will be harder every year on bees / pollinating and predatory insects
