What are some interesting facts about pollinators?

Pollinators, like bees and butterflies, are crucial for the reproduction of many plants. Did you know that one out of every three bites of food we eat depends on pollinators?

That's fascinating! How do pollinators help in food production?

Pollinators transfer pollen from one flower to another, enabling plants to produce fruits and seeds. This process is essential for crops like apples, almonds, and blueberries.

Are all pollinators insects?

No, not at all! While many pollinators are insects, such as bees, butterflies, and beetles, other animals like birds, bats, and even some reptiles can also be effective pollinators.

What can we do to protect pollinators?

You can plant native flowers, reduce pesticide use, and create habitats that support pollinators. Every little effort helps!
