native pollinators

Native pollinators are animals, primarily insects like bees, butterflies, and beetles, that naturally evolve in and are perfectly adapted to the local environment. They play a crucial role in transferring pollen from one flower to another, enabling plants to reproduce and produce fruit or seeds. Unlike non-native species, native pollinators are specialized to the plants in their region, making them essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, and ensuring agricultural productivity. Protecting native pollinators helps sustain the natural balance and supports the plants and animals that depend on them.
