Pollinator Garden

The focus has recently been on declining bee populations worldwide. Some plants are self-pollinating, while others may be fertilized by pollen carried by wind or rain. Other blossoms are pollinated by insects and animals, which may include bees, wasps, moths, butterflies, birds, flies, and small mammals, including bats. Bees are considered the most important pollinators. Many fruits, nuts, and vegetables we consume rely on pollinators to reproduce and produce fruit. Pollinators help transfer pollen from one flower to another, which is necessary for fertilization and fruit development.
