Pollinators — especially bees — play an important role in the production of many seeds, nuts, and fruits that humans enjoy. Some people think only of allergies when they think about pollen, but pollination — the transfer of pollen grains to fertilize the seed-producing ovaries of flowers — is essential to plant reproduction. Many trees, shrubs, and wildflowers depend on bees and other animals for pollination. Worldwide concerns about pollinator declines have increased awareness about the importance of pollinators and questions about what individuals can do to help.
