Citizens Science: Observing Pollinators

Pollinators are animals that assist plants in their reproductive cycles and are critical to the world’s food supply. Pollinators include ants, bats, bees, birds, butterflies, and more.

WHY THIS MATTERS

In recent years, critical pollinator populations have suffered severe declines, especially among honey bee colonies. By gathering observations of pollinators visiting flowering plants in your area, you can help scientists understand pollinator populations and locations while advancing knowledge about the types of plants pollinators prefer.
