Bees are amazing creatures! Did you know that one of the most important things they do is pollinate plants? Around 90% of our wild plants and 30% of our food crops depend on pollinators such as bees to reproduce. 🌱 🌻 The more we learn about pollination, the more we realise how weird and wonderful it is. Let's give thanks to one of the world’s smallest environmental champions. 💛 🐝 #BeeEducation #pollination #biodiversity | Flow Hive

From butterflies and bees, to flies and beetles, most pollinators are insects. But birds, bats, and small mammals also pollinate plants. #PollinatorWeek #PublicGardens | Smithsonian Gardens | Facebook
