Close-up of a pollen-covered bee with text about bees' pollination role. Transcribed Text: POLLINATOR SPOTLIGHT- BEES THINKING BEYOND THE HONEYBEE BEES are thought to be the most important of all pollinators. Nearly 80% of the world's plants including 90 different food crops important to humans, depend on bees. THERE are over 4000 species of bees in North America alone! The HAIRY-BANDED ADRENA (Andrena hirticincta) is a small mining bee native to North America. Mining bees build their nests underground. Perhaps 70% of the 20,000 species of bee in the world live underground, and most of those are small and solitary.

Over 2,000 species of birds are considered to be significant pollinators. In the continental United States, hummingbirds are key in wildflower pollination.

About the Project

The intricate relationship between plants and the animals that pollinate them is fascinating and complex. Far from simple flowers attracting a butterfly or a bee, the elegant and functional beauty of different plants ensures just the right pollinator partner finds its way to specific flowers. 

​

Spotlight on Pollinators is a temporary installation suitable for zoos, conservatories, butterfly exhibit enclosures, arboretums, or other all-weather installations. Built to withstand wind, rain and sun, reading rails accompany greatly magnified pollinator custom graphic panels to create a unique addition to your visitors' experience.
