Our most common pollinators
It is not only the "tame" bee that pollinates plants so they can reproduce and produce good harvests. Wild bees, butterflies, flies, and even beetles can also pollinate. Here are some of the invaluable gardeners we cannot do without., Have you ever stopped in a sea of flowers you know that it is teeming with insects, a bee buzzing by, a butterfly taking off from a newly blossomed poppy. Like feathers, insects move pollen grains from one flower to another so they can reproduce and develop fruit and berries. Every third bite of food we take is actually pollinated by insects. There are some plants that are pollinated by wind and water, but pollinators are always the key to a functioning garden.
