A Brimstone butterfly drinks in nectar from the Hyssop flowers... in the herb garden... at home... in West Sussex.
Not usually considered as pollinators but this Lancet Clubtail shows that dragonflies can pick up a fair amount of pollen as well.
Oberlin's pollinator garden lives in an open atrium in the Science Center. The garden is visited by bees, birds, and several species of insects. Professor of Biology Mary Garvin prepares the garden for this year's students.

I knew that the timing of when I finished the hydrant and the start of Pollinator Week would be in close proximity, so I figured I'd make a chalk announcement. The weather looks nice so maybe it will stay there for a couple of days!
Bee Hives play an important part in California agriculture. California produces as much as 80% of the world’s almond crop and bees are instrumental in the pollination process of all those sweet smelling white blossoms. Bee hives are moved into the orchards prior to the first bloom. Four frames of bees with an active laying queen are placed in the orchard at the standard rate of 2 hives per acre. Healthy bee hives are more apt to be active during cooler temperatures, however most honey bees only fly when temperatures are 55 degrees or higher. Wind and rain are both deterrents to active pollination.
Currently there is a nation-wide shortage of bees that has driven the price of bee hives locally from $50 to a current going rate of $150. As a result, bee hive theft is becoming more common in California. Some beekeepers are actually using GPS tracking devices on their beehives to help thwart the idea of theft. More and more bee hives are being stamped with the caution “These hives are digitally protected”.

I think this is a white sulphur butterfly. I don't know anything about bees so I couldn't tell you what kind of bee his buddy is.
