My name is Gino and I will be talking about pollinators with my friend Grant. Pollinators are animals or insects that transfer pollen from plant to plant so that the flower or plant will make seeds. The common pollinators are bees, butterflies, and humming birds. Some other pollinators are beetles, bats, and more. Pollinators are also attracted to flowers or plants by sight and smell. Some pollinators can’t smell like the humming bird; it finds its flowers by sight. Bees and moths can smell but can’t tell colors from colors; like red looks dull to bees and moths but they can see blue and purple. If pollinators were not on the earth the fruits and vegetables would not grow. Did you know that bees, butterfly and bats and humming bird help grow fruits and vegetables. The pollen sends the message to the plant to make a flower. Pollen collects on the hairs of the pollinator it collects on its head, legs, and chest. The pollinators visit other flowers. The pollen falls of and fertilizes the plant. This causes the plant to grow fruit. Pollinators feed the word.
