Powerful Pollinators

Pollinators like bees, birds, bats, and butterflies, play a vital role in our ecosystem, especially for anyone who enjoys fruits, vegetables, and flowers. As they buzz, fly, soar, and feed on nectar, pollinating animals can transfer pollen from one flower to another, enabling plants to produce fruits and seeds. Did you know that bees can communicate the location of food sources through intricate waggle dances? It’s like their way of doing a “happy dance” to tell other bees where to find the best flowers.
