Did you know that one out of every three bites of food you eat depends on pollinators? Honeybees, bumble bees, and other insects, birds and small mammals pollinate over 90% of the planet's flowering plants and one third of human food crops.
The animals in this video include:
Brown-belted or prairie bumble bee (Bombus griseocollis)
Hover fly
Sweat bee (Halictus sp.)
Zebra Longwing (Heliconius charitonius)
Drone Fly
Malachite (Siproeta stelenes)
Singing in the background is a mockingbird.
National Pollinator week is June 21-27, 2010. To learn more, visit http://www.stlzoo.org/pollinators
