Nothing Is Insignificant

I took this photo in my backyard with my pocket Canon PowerShot S95.

 

A honey bee in a quiet moment of work. We see them every day, yet rarely think about how much this small creature contributes to a stable ecosystem.

 

What are we seeing?

- Pollen sticks to its body hairs → pollination

- Transfers pollen between flowers → plant reproduction

- Pollinators support much of our food
