Once on the stigma, the pollen grain grows a tube that runs down the style to the ovary, where fertilization occurs, producing seeds.  \nMost plants depend on pollinators to move the pollen from one flower to the next, while others rely on wind or water to move pollen.  \nPlants produce nectar to attract pollinators. As the pollinator moves from flower to flower collecting nectar, they are also moving pollen from flower to flower. Certain fruits and seeds will not be produced if their flowers are not pollinated.  \npistil  \nstamen  \nWorldwide there are more than 100,000 different animal species that pollinate plants. Insects are the most common pollinators, but as many as 1,500 species of vertebrates also help pollinate plants.  \nA Good Pollinator:  \n• Is highly mobile and can travel from flower to flower. Moving pollen from flowers on one plant to another plant (rather than on the same plant) is called cross-pollination. Plants resulting from crosspollination have greater genetic diversity and are more capable of withstanding environmental change.  \n• Has hairs, scales or feathers. Pollen grains from one flower get caught in the hairs, scales, and feathers then are brushed off on another flower as the pollinator moves from plant to plant collecting nectar.  \n• Has specialized mouthparts for collecting nectar from the plants it visits  \nMeet the Pollinators  \nTrumpet  \nhoneysuckle  \nRuby-throated hummingbird Hummingbirds are attracted to scarlet, orange, red or white tubular-shaped flowers with no distinct odors.  \nBats are attracted to dull white, green or purple flowers that emit strong, musty odors at night.  \nRaspberry  \nBumble bee  \nBees are attracted to bright white, yellow or blue flowers and flowers with contrasting ultraviolet patterns that have fresh, mild or pleasant odors.  \nHoverfly (flower fly)  \nDaisy  \nFlies are attracted to green, white or cream flowers with little odor or dark brown and purple flowers that have putrid odors. Monarch butterfly  \nButterflies are attracted to bright red and purple flowers with a faint but fresh odor.  \nHummingbird moth  \nDense blazing star  \nThe hummingbird moth is active during the day however most moths are active at night and are attracted to pale red, purple, pink or white flowers that emit a strong, sweet odor at night.  \nSoldier beetle  \nAmerican black elderberry  \nBeetles are attracted to white or green flowers with odors ranging from none to strongly fruity or foul.  \nPollinators in Peril!  \nPollinator  \npopulations are declining. The most probable causes include:  \n• Habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation (including the introduction and spread of invasive plant species)  \n• Misuse of pesticides  \n• Disease, including parasites carried to the U.S. on introduced species  \nWhat You Can Do for Pollinators  \nPlant a garden using native flowering plants:  \n• Choose a variety of colors and shapes that will attract a variety of pollinators  \n• Choose plants that flower at different times providing nectar and pollen sources throughout the growing season.  \n• Plant in clumps rather than single plants to better attract pollinators  \nFor more information: [http://pollinator.org/guides.htm](http://pollinator.org/guides.htm)  \nProvi","cbCaivClyFwv1NvN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivClyFwv1NvN","pdf",518352,"English","# Why are Pollinators Important?\n## What is Pollination?\n## A Good Pollinator\n## Meet the Pollinators\n## Pollinators in Peril!\n## What You Can Do for Pollinators","[{\"question\":\"Why are pollinators important for plants and food?\",\"answer\":\"Pollinators support the reproductive success of most flowering plants and are crucial for producing many fruits, nuts, and berries people and wildlife depend on.
