Botanical Bedfellows: The Pollinators

Growing environmental concern has focused on the survival of pollinators, particularly honeybees, which are important to many commercial crops. But the 1,600-plus other bee species that are native to California are also vital pollinators—and they are only part of the story of plant reproduction and biodiversity. Beyond bees, pollinators range from weevils and moths to birds and flies. Learn about the beautiful and complex botanical connections between pollinators and the plants that rely on them.
