Here’s to the pollinators. 

Pollinators are just so important to not only flowering plants but also agriculture. 1 out of every 3 bites of food that you eat is there because of pollinators. 

This week the Wild Pollinator Count has been calling for citizen scientists to submit a count of native pollinators. It only takes 10 minutes to get involved. 
Hurry. Last day today to submit your count.

    Here's to the pollinators indeed. And protecting them. I believe that in parts of China they prefer to pollinate by hand. Which made me shudder.

    Delicate capture - we would all starve without bees doing their work.

    I just read that our bumblebees are now listed as endangered. We need to all do what we can...

    Last spring/early summer I saw more types of bumble bee in my garden than ever before as well as more in total. But I live in an area where people stopped using herbicides years ago because there is no virtually no agriculture left on the Island.

    What a fabulous capture. Too late for me to join the count, but I do hope the numbers are high.
