Which Pollinator Are You?

Check out Amanda’s July River Journal article on pollinators!

This summer you may see many different insects flying and landing in your garden, in your patio planter or in your window box. Those insects that are searching for nectar and pollen are pollinators, helping the flower to reproduce by spreading pollen from bloom to bloom. While there are over 450 different pollinator species in New York, I thought it would be fun to get to know just a few of our pollinator friends and highlight some interesting characteristics. As you read through, maybe you will self-identify with one!
