Pollinators are creatures that help plants reproduce by transferring pollen from one flower to another. This process is essential for many plants to produce fruits and seeds. Common pollinators include bees, butterflies, birds, and even some bats. They are attracted to flowers by their colors and scents, and as they collect nectar, they inadvertently carry pollen with them.
The role of pollinators is crucial for our ecosystem and food supply. About one-third of the food we eat, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts, relies on pollination. Protecting pollinators is vital, as their populations are declining due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change.
