The Mighty Pollinators

＂Have you noticed, on a summers day, the fine powder at the heart of a flower or floating on a breeze? What is pollen, and why does it matter? Almost invisible, pollen waits for the one thing it needs: a ride on the wind--or on wings, fur, or feathers. Thats where pollinators come in, small and mighty, holding the world together with their work.＂--
