Bumble bees\, solitary bees\, flies\, butterflies\, and moths are among the most familiar pollinators\, and in Canada more than one‑third of our food crops depend on bees alone. Fruits such as cherries\, peaches\, and plums; vegetables like cucumbers\, melons\, and squash; and oilseeds including canola and sunflower all rely on pollination. \nIn recent years\, pollinator populations have declined sharply due to climate change\, habitat loss (including the loss of native plants)\, and pesticide overexposure. These declines threaten plant diversity\, ecosystem stability\, and long‑term food security. \nOur presentation will explore: \n\nPollination\nPollen and nectar\nPollinators\nPlants\nSpecies at risk\nQ & A\n\nIf you would like to attend\, please let me know (gardenhespeler@gmail.com) and I will send you the Zoom link.
