PaginePaginepagineapp.comAbout three out of every four kinds of flowering plants depend on animals to move pollen from flower to flower. These animals are called pollinators.
Bees are the most famous, but butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, bats and even some beetles also help. As they visit flowers to drink nectar, pollen sticks to their bodies and rubs off on the next flower.
This transfer allows plants to make seeds and fruit — including many foods people eat, such as apples, almonds and strawberries.
Planting native flowers and avoiding harmful sprays are simple ways families and schools can help pollinators thrive.
