Meet The Pollinators
When you look at a flower, how often do you consider the importance of these unsung heroes? Pollinators help produce beautiful landscapes and the bounty of fruits, nuts and vegetables we all enjoy.
Bees, wasps, flies, butterflies, moths, beetles, birds and bats help plants reproduce by carrying pollen from one flower to another.
Right now, honey bee and other pollinator populations are being threatened by a number of factors including disease, mites, and loss of habitat and food sources.
Three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants depend on pollinators, and those pollinators need your help!
- Have you seen bees and other pollinators in your own neighborhood?
- Are there flowering plants in your garden, park, school or community?
- Did you know that many pollinators are essential for the production of most of the fruits and vegetables you eat every day?
