As we spend the spring and summer months tending our flower and vegetable gardens, it is always nice to devote some time to observing and supporting nature’s pollinators. What is a pollinator? A pollinator is anything that carries pollen from one flower to another to bring about fertilization. Honeybees might come to mind first; however, birds, bats, moths, butterflies, beetles, bumble bees, wasps, and other animals function as pollinators. Many of our food crops and the beautiful flowers now growing in our gardens rely on the success of pollinators.
