Pollinators
En ny sammanställning från NBII (Biological Informatics Office of the U.S. Geological Survey)
Pollinators "Thanks to the wonderful work of bees, butterflies, birds, and other animal pollinators, the world's flowering plants are able to reproduce and bear fruit, providing many of the foods we eat, the plant materials we and other organisms use, and the beauty we see around us.
