Plant for Pollinators
What are Pollinators?
|
Pollinators are insects like butterflies, bees and moths that are attracted to flowers to drink nectar. In turn, these insects get pollen on them while visiting a flower. When they carry that pollen to another of the same flower, pollination occurs, and the flower can produce seeds.

Why are Pollinators Important?Many of the crops we depend on for food need pollinators to reproduce. There are more than 100 crops in the US depend on pollinators, including apples, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers and many other fruits and vegetables.
Pollinator populations have seen a decline due to habitat loss, disease and a changing climate. |
