This photo was taken in my garden in my back yard. It was taken during the summer of 2017. In this picture, it is showing a bee pollinating. Pollination is when pollen is moved from plant to plant or in this case flower to flower. Animals such as birds, bees, butterflies all take a part in pollination. Transfering pollen from flower to flower can help in the fertilization of the flowers.

June 18th in the Double Walled Garden - or Pollinator Park - at the National Botanic Garden of Wales.
I took this photo this past weekend at a pumpkin patch in Maryland. It is hard to tell from the photo, but these flowers were swarming with butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. These beneficial pollinators transfer pollen from one flower to another, allowing reproduction. In the process, pollinators obtain nectar. It is important to have flowers that bloom year round so bees have a steady source of nectar. Pictures here are zinnias. Zinnias also attract pollinators by their bright color.

"Bees are not only working for our welfare, they are also perfect indicators of the state of the environment. We should take note."
"It is not a sudden problem, I has been happening for a few years now. Five years ago in Germany there were a million hives, now there are less than 800,000. If that continues there will eventually be no bees."
~German bee expert Professor Joergen Tautz from Wurzburg University

Pollination is a beautiful thing. The honey bee pollinates the flower. The plant in turn provides food for deer, turkey, and livestock. Bobwhite quail eat the seeds. The flowers attract birds, bees and other insects. And we enjoy the beauty.

This is a honeybee or a Apis mellifera.
a. How many types of pollinators visited this plant?
Three honeybees visited this plant during the 15 minute time period.
b. Did the visitor match your prediction for this species?
Yes, the honeybee did match the prediction based off the chart.
c. What was the total pollinator per hour on a per flower basis for this plant at your site?
(4 x 3)/1 = 12. Twelve total pollinators per hour on this flower.
d. Was your site higher or lower than the national average for pollinators per hour?
The average is ten and my number calculated was twelve, so my site was higher than the national average.
e. Do you think pollinator service can serve a proxy for other types of ecosystem variables? Explain how one might be closely allied to pollinator service and explain why.
Pollinator services can serve a proxy to other variables. For example, air quality is similar to the pollinator services in the sense that movement of substances is occurring in both. Depending on what is in the air, that will determine the quality of it, while depending on what kind of pollen the bee is carrying and where it releases it, will determine the quality of the new flower made.

Jen has some strawberry vines out in the garden and I was out looking for something to shoot and post today I spotted the ants were working on the flower and thought they would make a fine addition to my photo post for today. Looks like Jen is going to have a good harvest this year.
It’s hard to exaggerate just how poplar these Small-fruit Hakea (Hakea microcarpa) were with pollinators. This squat shrub, growing on the side of the road, was absolutely teeming with life! [Kanangra-Boyd National Park, NSW]
